What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin

Hi. I was served with divorce papers yesterday and I am looking for some advice or help. I really need a lawyer, but can not afford one. I have 2 kids and i work but do not make a lot of money. My soon to be X does not pay child support and refuses to do so, which i will fight in court. Does anyone know of a good cheap lawyer or a free lawyer for domestic violence victimes who had to flee? As i said earlier I do work and do not quailfy for most free services as i am not consider under the poverty limit. (Says Who???)!! Any help would be grateful. Thank you

Did you "flee" out of state??
Edit to ask: Are both of these children his? If not are you collecting child support from the other child's father?

Make an appointment to see an attorney. Many attorneys will petition the court to be paid from marital assets. Or they may be willing to work out a payment plan.

You need to file for temporary support and custody immediately.

Yes i fled Virginia and moved to Wisconsin. I have been here almost a year. Only my youngest son is his, my oldest sons father passed away in 2000, which i receive no money for.

Do i need to file for temporay custody even if he is denying the child and wants a paternity test done?

Thanks for the help

Did he file for divorce in VA? If so, VA does not have jurisdiction of child custody matters because the child has been a legal resident of WI for more than one year.
