If you have real estate or children, you should NOT be representing yourself and I doubt that the judge will let you.

Contact www.mobar.org and ask for a list of pro bono (free) lawyers in your county.

Have had similiar run-ins looking for legal aid in Missouri case previously. Legal aid is county funded, which unfortunately with all of the abuse/neglect cases usually runs out early. They have a standard line.....if the case does not involve abuse/neglect with children, they are out of funding.

The pro-bono is different. Most lawyers provide XX amount of dollars billable to pro-bono work - either for conditions of grants, loans, etc., tax benefits, or just because of their big loveable hearts. Although most lawyers won't advertise this information. You can contact the bar associate, they will have information on lawyers in your specific county.

My suggestion to you - do it quick - their time gets booked fast.
