My son is 17 and has decided that he would like to come live with me ( his father). The mother will not agree. My son is currently living with his friend down the street from his mother. His grades have dropped and school attendance. He has gotten into trouble with the law. He says that his home life with his mom and stepdad has deteriorated to the point he can't take it anymore. I have talked to several lawyers, but I am unable to afford their prices. Do you know of anyone that can help me?

In Alabama the courts do not have online forms for child custody.
You may file Pro se .I would suggest you to have a look at this form/ actually it is forPa/
