Also not having any money is no excuse to give up on fighting for seeing your children - in Australia you are allowed to 'self represent' and the proportion of 'self represented' cases is increasing dramatically in recent years since the government increasingly backs away from providing legal aid.
The courts are not really designed for SLR's (self represented litigants) but have to learn how to adapt to it because it is increasingly the way of the future now in Australia.
I am self representing my own custody case (your not allowed to use the word 'custody' stupidly) - I am just keeping it simple, i am not trying to claim the world, just every second weekend plus some holiday time.
Not everybody who posts in here is a lawyer.
That's why people sometimes forget that Wills and Succession disputes are matters of state law,
and that their operation is not in itself impinged upon by (what Australia calls) Family Law,
The latter is a different field, which operates at the Commonwealth level..
While usually well meant, some of the laypeoples' content in here
is rational and valuable, and some is not.
As you read the various posts here, it will become apparent to you
who among the users is a lawyer, and who is not.
You may care to take notice of some posts, and not of others, accordingly.
