I am currently in the middle of a child support case, i have to go back on march 1st for a permanent child support order. I filed on the father of my children.

To make a long story short, I put in a request for a states attorney through child and was told to check back to make sure i will have one present. I checked today and was told no one has responded to my request.

My questions is: Is there some type of way i could find an attorney on my own without all the fees???

I was also told on my first child support court date that i could not handle my kid’s tuition in that court room. I was told this when i tried to present receipts, I thought that was kind of odd. any help or advice would be appreciated!!! I live in chicago in the southwest suburbs. my court date is downtown.

I would also like to add that the father of my children called me a b**** in court and nothing was done about this when i told the judge, after i told the judge there was an exchange of words and we were told we would get arrested.

All i did was state what he said to me which i am sure the judge heard him say this anway. What can i do about the lack of concern for his actions??
