I am needing help making a will. I am a single mom with health problems. I have complete custody of both of my boys. I receive a monthly check from my ex-husband due to a court order on the marital moneys that he spent. He has a set amount of months to get it paid off in and a set about that has to be paid on or before the first of every month. So I need to to be able to set this up to be split between my boys, but I have to pick someone to handle the trust. Or my ex will not pay it back if something happens to me. Do you offer any kind of services like this? Thank you for your time Brandi

What help do you offer for dealing with divorce? I have been trying to file on my own and it's been a complete nightmare i can't ever get the right paperwork or fill it out correctly it's all very confusing to me. And I can't afford a divorce attorney.

Important Information

Legal Aid Funding
Legal aid professionals and organizations oftentimes receive government funding for taking on cases with those who cannot afford attorneys. For the most part, funding is limited so legal aid entities can only take on a limited amount of cases. Qualifications are often rigid.
