Re: divorce and custody

If you have no funds for an attorney, you can see if you qualify for an attorney through pro bono for low income individuals or through Legal Aid. Unfortunately there are waiting lists. If you cannot meet any of their financial requirements, you could try and borrow the funds from friends/relatives or from your 1/2 share of the 401K plan.
