Hypothetical question

English isn't my first language so bear with me. Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

parental alienation in custody dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

Pro tip: if a company is violating your rights and you need legal help but can't afford it, check if any law school clinics in your area handle your type of case. Law students (supervised by licensed attorneys) provide free legal services and are often very thorough because they're learning.
