Divorce And Custody Concerns

Summary

A no-contact order does not prevent the other party from sending court papers. Legal communication can still occur, often through a lawyer or third party. Court-appointed attorneys are generally for criminal cases, not civil matters like child custody. You may qualify for low-cost or free legal aid services.
