Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I need help getting custody of my son
I filed a motion in my child custody associates report and need to know what is my next step. The court date is Oct. 23 I am in Chicago an need representation
in Texas. How much will it cost to be represented? I want to change my mind in the decision made because i am perusing an education here in Chicago and would like to share custody where i will have primary. I signed some papers in a hearing on Sep. 25th, that i did not understand. I dont have a job, my parents dont have jobs. They live in Texas also. My dad is in jail and i cant get a hold of my mom, she doesnt have a phone. I am living with a friend, her mother is trying to help me, but theres only so much she can do. She cant help me with money only advice. But she doesnt know legal stuff and i need a lawyer to represent me. I dont have any money though. At all. I walk to school. I qualify for legal aid but the father of my son is useing legal assistance, there is a conflict of interest so they cant help me. But i can not afford a private attorney. Please help me

Re: I need help getting custody of my son
There are different agencies that provide assistance, and you need to continue inquiring until you find one that does not have a conflict. Try Catholic Charities, as even if they can't help you, they probably have a list of agencies for you to contact. Also see if there is a law school in the area that has a low-cost/free clinic.
Whatever happened on September 25 will probably have a direct bearing on the upcoming hearing.
