Laws current as of April 1, 2024 Do I need a lawyer?
Although a lawyer is not required to file for custody, it can be highly beneficial to have one, especially if the abuser has a lawyer. A lawyer who is knowledgeable about custody can help to make sure that your rights are protected. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you may be able to find sources of free or low-cost legal help on our Finding a Lawyer page.
If you are going to be in court without a lawyer, our Preparing for Court – By Yourself section may be useful to you.
