My son is 13 now, and he DOES NOT want to go back to his dads (he has felt this way for a while now), and we have split custody, and he has the 51%, so he has more control. He does not want my son to live with me. He is a very controlling man, and gets off to controlling our son. I know that I can get a lawyer to help with this, but I do not have the $3000.00. Someone said that a paralegal would be cheaper, but the courts said that that would be illegal, because they are not a lawyer yet. Also, if the father would agree to the changes of child custody papers, then it would easy for me to file the petition myself, and go to court, and just have the judge sign the right papers. BUT, his dad will fight this till the very end, he does not like to lose control. Can anyone please help?
Legal Aid will not help me, cause we were never married, and there are no lawyers that do probono on this matter, I have checked every lawyer in phone book, and they all want 3-4 thousand upfront. Help!
