Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am going into a divorce/custody hearing on December 16th involving our final divorce, and the custody of my 3yo son. I am doing this pro se, seeing as I cannot afford a retainer for a lawyer. I have questions, but nobody wants to answer them. First off, am I entitled to a copy of the witness and evidence list from my future ex's lawyer? Secondly, how do I submit my own witness and evidence list to the court, and what time-frame must I do it by? Finally, where can I find the right forms necessary to represent myself... i.e. forms for response to the hearing, subpoena (if necessary), and good questions to ask and what I should look for? Can you help me?

The submission of a witness list or evidence list is governed by the pre-trial order, if the court entered one.

Otherwise, the "witness list" would be a response to a request for disclosure.

You don't submit a witness list or evidence list unless you've been ordered to so do, or if you were served with a request for disclosures.

The questions you would ask witnesses would depend on what the facts are in your case.

My advice? Get a lawyer. Sell a kidney if you have to, but get a lawyer. You won't be able to do this yourself.
