text: is there any affordable legal aid for single mothers with just one income? i'm having a legal problem and i can't find any affordable lawyer that works with single mothers. it depends what you are looking for.  there are legal aid attorneys available in just about every state and county to aid with domestic violence, divorce and family situations. get in touch with your local family court or district attorneys office and ask them about a public defender or a list of local attorneys that do pro bono work for your county/state.
