Beg for the money, call every relative you have to borrow the money. Going into a custody battle without a lawyer can be legal suicide.

Asking a lawyer to do a custody battle for free is like asking Sears to give you a dishwasher for free. It's not very likely. People deserve to get paid for what they sell.

You daughter also deserves a fair chance in court, and that means you need to find the money to hire a lawyer. It's part of being a good parent.

Times are tough, but your daughter's future will be tougher if things go wrong in court because you don't have a lawyer.
