I've got a friend who was evicted from her house by her husband, so that he could move his girlfriend in. Now she's living with friends, caring for her child as best she can, with no support from the father. He has legal representation now, and is trying to take custody of the child. But given that she's in another state (Maryland), and he's threatening to file in California, she's having a lot of trouble finding available help.

In MD, there's no help to be found, because the filing will be in CA. In CA, there's no help to be found, because she doesn't qualify as a resident.

Is she just SOL, or is there anyone who can work with this type of situation?
