You didn't mention where you are. So, all you can do is to google the phrase "pro bono" and the name of your town (or the nearest large one).

If you don't have money get with a mothers without partners origination, a divorced mothers group and something like that. Call your city or town hall to see if there are any groups like that. Go to a church and ask for help they might have groups or know ways to help. Also ask for your children to be checked out by a social worker so they can tell how good a mom your are.
Last go to the state child support department and get child support if you don't have it now. Ask them if they have lawyers that can help and tell them you have no money.
Don't sit and wait. Get moving and start your fighting back for your children's sake.
Good luck

Get yourself to your counties legal aid society. Get some legal advice before it is to late. Then find out how to get him to pay child support. There has to be a way for you to get some legal advice. Get on the phone to the county. Take the offense and do it quickly or you may lose your children. Right now you do not need job training as much as legal help. Get that. Then get some advice about job training. Start some schooling and get your GED if you do not have it. Start with English class so you can fill out job applications.

Like others have said - it depends on your city. If you are in a major metropolitan area you should have many resources available to you. Just start calling and someone should be able to point you in the right direction. If your kids are under 5, call Women, Infants and Children (WIC) first. Depending on your income, they can help you with food for your kids and can also point you in the direction of who might be able to help you with your other concerns.
Also, check online for:
1. community programs in your city to help you:
a. obtain inexpensive, safe child care
b. search for a job
c. find local community classes to help improve your skills
2. a free lawyer in your town to help you keep custody of your kids and obtain child support
