My b/f has been to court many times reagrding his 5 year old son. At first, he was going to court because the mother would not let him see his son, and now he is going back because of unpaid child support (about $200, btw). But there have been many visits in between and he has always showed up alone while she always has a lawyer. In the future, I think it might be a good idea for him to show up with representation. However, we can not afford a lawyer. The child's mother has yet again denied him his visitation for reasons that I understand she is not able to deny visitation to him for. When he goes to family court again, how can we find him representation? What do we look up in the phone book? We just need to be pointed in the right direction, because we have no idea where to find a free lawyer if its even possible. Please help.

Most family lawyers will put you on a payment plan if you can't afford one. This means you will have to pay them over the course of a year or 2. I am going to recommend a pretty good lawyer website in which you can search for exactly what you need. Look up the following term, your state + family lawyer. ie California family lawyer. To minimize the search perhaps family lawyer payment plans.
I would than pick and choose a few and start calling around.

Consult your county's legal aid organization. If there isn't one, check with your local bar association for a recommendation.
