Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

this question is in regards to my brother's wife's legal aid lawyer. My brother recently lost his job and can't afford a lawyer, we did come up with some money when she claimed he threatened to kill her over the phone, but once we went to court she dropped it took his son and won't allow him to see him. 6 or so months later he did receive a letter in the mail from a legal aid lawyer out of Des Moines stating she was representing his wife in the divorce/custody. He got forms from courthouse and got them notarized and mailed back to her lawyer. But haven't heardv or received anything since. She called him 3 weeks ago and said she was sending him a paper but he still hasn't seen it. Her and her boyfriend have posted all over fb that her lawyer has adviced them to not let him see his son or know where he is. That he needs to get over it and move on that her new boyfriend is his dad now. I personnally went through a divorce myself and my lawyer told me that keeping my child away from their dad was the worst thing to do. What advice can you give me? [email protected]

I'm not sure what the legal question is, or whether you have a dog in this fight. It's up to your brother to take whatever legal action is required to preserve his rights.
