How to find a legal coach for my child custody matter

I find myself having to represent myself in a 2 day evidentiary hearing coming up in June regarding a child custody issue. I had counsel, but she has chosen to withdraw as counsel and now I am in a position where I can not afford new counsel. Is there anyone who can guide me in the right direction and help me with some insight as to how I can prepare for this trial. I had thoughts of just giving up and giving my ex what he wants, but I just can't do that. My daughter is only 5 and we had an agreement that he reneged on. I NEED to fight for my daughter. I just need to know how effectively! Can anyone please help me?
