How can I get divorced if I do not have the money to hire an attorney? Where do I go
I need to divorce the stepfather of my son and I need to get custody of my son. My husband raped my oldest daughter and she now has a child by him. I am originally from El Salvador and speak limited English. My twin daughters can help me to read this but I need help.
My number is 586-696-9065.
My email is coreascruz3gmail.com.
Thank you for any help that you can give to me.

You need to consult with an attorney, espaecially since there are custody issues to be addressed. Since money is an issue for you, check if you qualify for representation by legal aid or see if there is a law school clinic nearby (they are free/low cost). Also, you can contact the bar association in your county/state which may have a list of attorneys who will take your case for a reduced fee. Finally, google local women's support groups in your area or contact the Department of Social Services; they may be able to refer you to inexpensive legal services.
