What is the name of your state? mississippi
a friend of mine hasnt been allowed to see her children in 2 years or speak to them. she has no maoney to take her ex to court. what can she do. legal aid says they cant help because she lives in mississippi and he lives in tennessee. does anyone have any suggestions of what she can do to be able to see her children? thanks

is there a court order for visitation/custody?
what state was this done in, if so?
what does the court order say?
who moved and was that court approved?
answer these then someone will help---

was your friend a drug addict or a drunk or a stripper?

why doesnt your friend move to tennessee and get a legal aide lawyer there?

he has custody of the children and refuses to let her see or talk to them on the phone. she and her husband do not want to move to tennessee. they just dont have the funds to fight him in court for the children.she needs legal advice on what her options are.because she has no money and he does.

no she is not a drunk or drunk addict OR A STRIPPER! she just wants to see her children. she does not have the money to move to tennesseee.

they just dont have the funds to fight him in
court for the children.she needs legal advice on what her options are.because she has no money and he does.
=======================

Ah so your friend married another very poor person, so they dont even have any savings to hire a lawyer. Your friend and hubby needs to better themselves in life and get higher paying jobs, then they will have the money to get a lawyer and visitation with her kids.

Your friend & hubby needs to tighten their belts, do they smoke, drink, do drugs, lots of money can be saved there, do the eat out a lot? I hope she and hubby use birth control seriously. Dont want to make her life even worse by getting pregnant and having even less money to spend for a lawyer.

I think that this is the best answer to your question: what can you do when you dont have money for a lawyer? you change your lifestyle, raise cash, and dont spend on anything you dont need.

and focus on the finding out what you can about the questions lovingwife posed.

A further though: perhaps your state has a family law website that can answer your friend's questions. My state has various forms you can download . Or she can either go to the library and read about divorce/visitation laws in your state or perhaps there's a book that deals with visitation issues specifically.

Good luck in finding advice for your friend.
