You are going to court for custody of your children. If there is an attorney on the other side then beware - it is most likely the attorney knows more law than you and is more used to dealing with the court system.

If you can afford an attorney then you really should have one. Sometimes one's failure to pay legal fees can be false economy. If you go to court in pro per and the orders are not in your favor, then it far more difficult and expensive to repair the damage - the old maxim is true, to wit: an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
