Very well inspirational place that helps people with low income in their time of need very experienced and understanding God gave them the gift to help others in need

Never helpful in Clay , never respectful always talking over the person calling to ask questions, never letting a person really speak to get the issue out to see if they are able to help or provide resources. Terrible experience twice when I’m just looking for resources as my case wouldn’t be here

I say you call legal aid to make an appointment. They should be able to help. If they cant help go to the courthouse to 2102 i think, its right above the stairs and they will provide you with a list of paperwork you can print out and file in order to take the neccessary steps. You can request supervised visitation for him. Once they give you the list you can print the paperwork out right outside of the office. Depending on your income, you can probably even file for free or for a low amount.

These questions usually don't get answered by anyone from the business you're trying to contact. Just a FYI. I suggest checking their website in the self help areas. They have a lot of information available online. They also have free legal clinics, and one of those might help you. Those are also listed on their website. You can try setting an appointment with them to get more detailed information about your specific situation by calling, going in person, or requesting one from their website.

Rebekah Forrest | Sep 12, 2018

Go to the law library in the court house. They will help you with forms and show you where to find instructions. They do not advise you. LegalAid choses a couple of cases to defend out of hundreds being reported per month. Everyone who needs legal help do not get help.
