Look on this website and on www.avvo.com for an attorney that you can afford.

The moment she turns 18 she does not have to visit her mom any longer.

If the mother is abusive then you have no choice but to go to court and modify the visitation.

You might try mediation.

Good luck.

I hope this info is helpful.
