You may be able to get help through legal aid or the facilitator's office. I don't know about the court where you live, but I know in Orange County they have booklets at the courthouse that tell you how to fill in and file paperwork yourself. You can also request a waiver of court fees. There will be a problem if he doesn't work or does so under the table. If he works, however, the court can order his wages to be garnished.
