Hi, I have a 13 year old daughter with an ex-husband with whom I have shared parenting with. I'm trying to fight for her but don't have the funds, I applied for legal aid and they walked me through the steps of getting a CPO and told me that if I got that on him to protect my daughter from abuse that then they would help me with the custody portion. My ex filed contempt charges on me and legal aid wouldn't represent me. I asked for a court appointed attorney and was denied. Reports have been made to CPS and they DO NOT investigate. I was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but they were suspended as long as I follow the visitation to a T. My ex gets away with everything in that county that he lives in and my daughter continues to abuse her. Please help. Anyone, Please.
Emily
