Legal Question in Family Law in California

My daughter has joint custody of her 2 children. The father is taking her to court for full custody. Father has lots of money my daughter none. He hired a lawyer, she has no money to do the same. To keep this simple in the state of California how hard or easy is it for him to get full custody? Yes she is a great mom and her children want to stay with her. If she has no lawyer what are her chances of keeping her kids?

You do not say what county your daughter lives in. You might check with the county bar association to see if there is a free attorney that may be able to help her. In California there is a presumption in favor of joint custody so her ex will have to have a good reason to get sole custody.
