Yes, there are kind attorneys out there that will work with you and help you. Good luck.
Yes, in theory you could represent yourself in what is presumably the circuit
court which handled your divorce, but as a practical matter the average layperson is simply not going to know how to prepare and file the necessary papers to initiate this Rule to Show Cause (as to why the defendant should not
be found in contempt of court and be subject to appropriate sanctions) nor
to present and argue the matter before a judge of this circuit court.
