Re: legal aide for child support assistance
Assuming he is the father of the children and not
a step-parent, it sounds like you need to get a
court to order child support. An attorney could help,
or if you cannot afford one then you can try to
use the attorney general's office or a local legal
services program. Refer to your local bar association
for the specific programs in your area. Note that
many of these programs will not do it all for you like
an attorney would, but of course you get what you
pay for. You may also refer to a local law library. I
hope this helps.
