Go to the county courthouse--the one that deals with family law, not criminal cases. Ours has a pro-bono booth in the basement, manned from 9AM-5PM. The lawyers there will tell you what you need to do.

In my divorce case, the judge said I'd been working on it for too long and needed closure--he told me which pages from the law books to copy (where the county law library was located) and directed me to go to the law booth downstairs where the lawyers crossed out the paragraphs I didn't need and sent me back upstairs.

Now, those lawyers said I'd have to get the document typed by a legal secretary, but the judge had already told me he'd accept the Xerox copies with the cross-outs. He took my pages, added a few lines in purple ink and told me to sign--1-2-3...divorced!

Now...especially since she's not working, she could offer to baby-sit in exchange for legal work. Lawyers work long hours and baby-sitting can be a challenge. Make sure she finds out the going rate (so that she doesn't cheat herself), but she needs to be ready to negotiate. If she can get 1 hour of legal service for 1 week of 8AM-6PM child care, she'll be doing well. Who knows, it could segue into a steady job of baby-sitting--especially if she is willing to work longer hours for overtime pay.
