Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

I live in Illinois and got custody of my son due to his dad being abusive to him and his girlfriends kids. We went to district court several years ago and I didn't have lawyer so I let him live with his dad . I can't find a lawyer that will work with me according to DHS he will be reunified to the dad if he fixes what they want him to fix. Everyone wants thousands of dollars legal aid won't help this case is all in iowa. I live several hours away also my son was recently diagnosed as being mentally retarded. His dad is making up things to make me look bad. And claiming there's DV between my husband and me which is false . He even got my son to say that we argue etc. I just don't know how to get the district order changed and need some advice. Thanks
