You can represent yourself PRO-SE but its ALWAYS suggested that you hire an atty. especially if u think it will get "ugly" and when children are involved.
go to your local law library and see what they will offer...although most cant offer legal advice..they might steer u in the right direction.
Look for family law,,law firms and find the ones that say the first consultation is free. At this consult, they will tell u how much they charge, what they will do for u..and if they have payment plans available. U can look in the yellow pages under attys.
Look for a Texas Rural Legal Aid Sevices in ur area...down here they do A LOT of fam. law stuff and they do it for free OR for a lower price...i think it depends on ur income.
Hope this helps some.
Hugs,
Monica
U tell me that I sin,
U say Im bound for hell,
So once ur judgment condemns U,
I SHALL SEE U THERE. 
I'd rather be an OPEN sinner
than a FALSE saint...

P.S. Would love to be able to offer advice to July but know very little about family law. I'm more of a commercial litigator.
Speaking of "pro bono", the Bar may not require that we actually do it, but we now have to "contribute" that additional "legal services fee" as part of our annual bar dues that allegedly goes for such a purpose .. I'd like to see exactly WHO that money goes to and what is done with it each year, as it adds up to $Ms .. !
