When she is saying that in order to see the child you have to pay her $800 a month, try to get it in writing (email) to show the Court that all she cares about is the money. If she's willing to drop all of this to get $800 a month, then obviously she isn't too worried about you being near the child. I think it's sick that she is trying to use that baby to get more money than I'm guessing she would be granted (My DH has a 7 y/o that he only pays $350 a month in CS, which is higher than what would be calculated by the state-so $800 for an infant seems like a lot to me).

As for having to have an attorney, you aren't REQUIRED to have an attorney to file paperwork with the Court. My husband has been Pro Se the last 2 of 3 court hearings (and he won both). The best thing you can do is file the paperwork. Check your Courts website online to see if they have the forms online, or go into the Courthouse. I believe the County Clerk can help you get the right paperwork.

And while you are waiting for your Court date, you need to document EVERYTHING. All conversations (date/time), try to communicate solely by email so you can use it in court. Document when you request visits and if it's denied or granted. Get letters of character from people about you and about your ex. Make sure to have necessities for the child where you are living (she may request a home evaluation). Also, make sure to have a "proposed" parenting plan to offer to her, and to show the Court.
