Most atorneys give initial consultations for free. Look in your local phone book and pick and attorney and call them. Small firms usually can tell you who will meet with you if they do not. For further info, see www.gsmithlawfirm.com
Re: filing for visitation
Your friend doesn't HAVE to have a lawyer to go to court for visitation.... but there's also no requirement that you go in for a dentist if you need a root canal. You coulld try to do it youself. You would be an idiot, but you could try it.
Your friend nedd to get an attorney with a good deal of experience in custody cases. She should be able to get visitation set, and she should also be able to get rid of the restraining order preventing her from leaving the state. The court might properly order that she not leave the staet with the child, but I don't understand how the court could properly order that SHE not leave the state herself.
