\n1. Contact your local legal services group. Some New York examples are Legal Aid Society<\/a>, NYLAG<\/a>, and LSNYC<\/a>.
\n2. Your local Bar Association can assist you in choosing a lawyer. If you have limited income, a lawyer can aid for free. Please note that hiring a divorce lawyer takes time.
\n3. Remember that the court must provide a lawyer if your divorce involves child support, visitation, or an Order of Protection. Ask the judge for a free lawyer to assist with custody, visitation, or protection.
