I have a legal question, any lawyers on here?

Yeah, sorry, but I doubt I can help. If your question is one of legal procedure (which it seems it might be) that can vary wildly based on jurisdiction.

I'm not looking for advice, I just have a question. I already filed papers with the court. I can't afford an attorney and legal aid does not help with contemp charges, I've already called. If it's that big of a problem then just disregard this post. Sorry I posted.

So YOU filed a "Contempt of Court yourself, and have questions but cant afford a lawyer?
Se , personally, if I could not afford legal representation, and Legal Aid can't help me, then *I* would not file this.
But that's me

Most things, especially for visitation request Pro Se. Once the court makes the order if there is contempt in the following of it, whole different ballpark.
Perhaps jurisdiction, but here the contempt for failure to pay support you could do yourself, but if they have the child custody issue and are failing to follow the court ordered custody and visitation orders, you can't file the complicated form. My client gave up after not seeing her son for her visitation for a year. The father moved out of the jurisdiction and refuses her weekend custody.

Just to throw the ringer in, he was laid off, work off the record, she had a full time job with benefits. Because she was working full time and he was laying around he was awarded primary full custody. He had three PFA's against him from two women and court still let him have custody. It was a nightmare. I don't work in the court system, I just went with her for moral support and couldn't believe what they were telling her.

Tell me about it, courts only listen to one side and take away rights that just seem so wrong.

I filed one to counter his against me. We are going to court no matter if I filed or not. He owes me money and this is apparently the only way I can try to get it.
