Re: how can i get someone to help me?

You have several problems here. You mention "she keeps

getting custody back..." There is some

reason courts (plural) keep awarding her custody.

Your message seems to be asking for free lawyering

in a contested custody matter. I'll tell you what

you already know... a lawyer would have to be crazy to

get involved in a contested custody civil matter

without a fee. It may not be what you say you already promised someone else, but large.

In any event, the fact that you still owe means there is a payment

problem. I do not believe even legal services (Legal aid) would get

involved, but you could ask them. I hate to give negative responses to

people on this BBS, but you seem to be asking for

way more than just general advice.

Good luck to you in your case. DG
