legal aid generally stays out of domestic issues unless there is abuse involved. otherwise, they’d be booked up until the end of time and never have enough attorneys to cover all the cases.

    If the judge says you can afford a lawyer, and you think you can’t, you will have to persuade the judge to change his/her mind.

    Certainly, you can try legal aid. Law schools at universities also often operate some kind of legal clinic — check out the schools in your area.
