Finally was able to get through to the public defenders office and speak with a live person. Before they'll even let me speak to attorney, I must first file for support and/or custody. It doesn't have to be both, just one or the other then they'll *maybe* assign me an attorney.
So, looks like tomorrow or Friday I have to trot my rear to the courthouse. I'll file the paperwork for custody so that I can get a damned attorney.
Oh, and BTW, the girl did check one thing - because I have made no (financial) contributions to the household, I would most likely NOT be legally entitled to stay here. Unless, of course, it goes through the courts and they determine otherwise.
