Let's work through a couple layers here.
First, in general, you only qualify for Legal Assistance during drill, mobilization or AT.
Second, in general, neither the military nor the civilian attorneys in the Legal Assistance Office can appear in court on your behalf or draft any pleadings. There are a few exceptions at a handful of posts, however, and there, attorneys actually can go into court with you. You would have to actually check with your LAO to see if they are one of the exceptions.

You probably will need to wait till you are active to do anything. Although, if you send a letter to JAG they may be able to assist you, unofficially. It is important to note, that most JAG lawyers specialty is MILITARY LAW or UCMJ. UCMJ does not apply nor have jurisdiction over civilians except when applied under general Martial Law. Seek legal aid, or look into pre-paid legal services.
Be the best man you can be and get access to your son. He needs you.

If the military is charging you with a crime, then you can be appointed an attorney at no cost to you. If the state is charging you, then the state appoints you counsel. If it's a civil matter, you're on your own.

I think (not positive) you will need to get your own for personal business. Check around for lawyers that specialize in Civil cases.

The Army will not provide you a lawyer for a civil case or civilian criminal case regardless if you are active duty or reserves.

If it has nothing to do with the UCMJ, they will not give council, they may give advice though.
