In most counties there are legal aid programs that will assist low income 
people with family court matters. this party can also contact the county bar 
association. In California in the larger counties the county bar 
associations maintain a lawyer referral service where for a fee of about $30 
here in Fresno County a person can get a consultation with a lawyer 
specializing in that particular area of law. After the consultation the 
party can negotiate arrangements with the lawyer if they are able to take a 
particular case. Unless a person has specialized training in law it is not 
recommended that a person represent themselves in a serious family matter 
such as abuse allegations and child custody. This is much different than 
something that is uncontested where there is essentially no dispute in 
question. While I do not specialize in working with family matters you can 
contact me off list for general information and I can research referrals for 
these resources.

>> Hi Everyone,
>> Most of you know that my sister is going through an intense child
>> custody battle with her X-husband. Her previous lawyer was charging
>> her massive fees that he could never justify, and so she dismissed him
>> from the case. She has been trying to locate another legal
>> representative, and has been attempting to proceed with the case on
>> her own. This has resulted in paperwork being filled out incorrectly,
>> and court orders being sent to the wrong people. My sister really
>> doesn't know how to represent herself. It has recently gotten worse
>> when her x-husband sent out a complaint aledging that the accusations
>> of abuse that were he was charged with almost ten years ago were
>> untrue. My other sister and I were witnesses to this physical abuse,
>> which he was charged with. He also stated that my sister abducted he
>> child when my family relocated to Texas after the death of my father.
>> He claims that  my family told my nephew that his father left my
>> sister for another woman, and that has been the reason for the
>> disfunctional father son relationship. My nephew has complained about
>> being physically abused while at his father's house, and I have been
>> one of the people who filed a report to the police on one such
>> occasion. My sister really needs assstance in how to respond to such
>> fabrications, and how to proceed. She is driving herself crazy, and
>> allowing her emotions to take over in court, which isn't helping her
>> at all.
>> If anyone has any information about lawyers in the Ventura/Oxnard Ca
>> area that might be able to help her, please email me as soon as
>> possible.
>> Thank you.
>> Aziza
