There are local and state agencies, both private and government, that provide free representation to individuals who qualify. Qualifications may vary state-to-state, and even county-to-county.  However, Legal Aid is one of those services.   If you don't qualify for Legal Aid see if they can recommend someone to help you.  Also, check to see if there is a law school nearby to where you live; they typically run free/low cost clinics that handle these type cases.  You can contact the local Bar Association in your county; they may have a list of attorneys who will take your case "pro bono" (for free) or at least for a reduced fee based on your income/circumstances.  Additionally, google women's support groups in your area; they can usually provide a list of attorneys who can help.  Finally, try contacting your state's Department of Social Services, they may be able to refer you to free legal services.
