What can I do if Ineed help modifying a “Motion to Reconsider Ruling” form for a divorce case that I missed due to emergency hospitalization?

For a final divorce hearing that I missed due to emergency hospitalization, I need help modifying a “Motion to Reconsider Ruling” form to set another date. My husband also lied under oath (provable) and was granted all his terms of the divorce including child custody which is notin our children’s best interest. I’ve been directed by the court to www.in.gov/judiciary/selfservice/forms and told to find a form to use and modify it.

You really should have legal counsel for all of this.  If money is an issue, see if you qualify for representation Legal Aid (their are income limits) or see if they can recommend someone to help you.  Also, check if there is a law school nearby to where you live; they typically run free/low cost clinics that handle these type cases.  Contact the local Bar Association in your county; they may have a list of attorneys who will take your case "pro bono" (for free) or at least for a reduced fee based on your income/circumstances.  Additionally, google women's support groups in your area, they can usually provide a list of attorneys who can help.  Finally, contact your state's Department of Social Services, they may be able to refer you to free legal services.
