Re: how can i get someone to help me?
You have several problems here. You mention "she keeps
getting custody back..." There is some
reason courts (plural) keep awarding her custody.
Your message seems to be asking for free lawyering
in a contested custody matter. I'll tell you what
you already know... a lawyer would have to be crazy to
get involved in a contested custody civil matter
without a fee. It may not be what you say you already promised someone else, but large.
In any event, the fact that you still owe means there is a payment
problem. I do not believe even legal services (Legal aid) would get
involved, but you could ask them. I hate to give negative responses to
people on this BBS, but you seem to be asking for
way more than just general advice.
Good luck to you in your case. DG
