Lessons to learn about attorneys

I've learned alot in the past few weeks about the legal system, and I am now convinced that the process is set up to hurt the good guys.  The man in my life, Todd, was served with papers from his ex-wife for back child support amd to modify the divorce decree to move the children out of state and away from him.  He was devastated.
Sooo I began doing what I do best, researching for help as he can't afford an attorney right now, being on unemployment and waiting for surgery.  What a Joke!!!  There is no help for the underdog.  This woman continually wreaks havoc on our lives, bad mouthing Todd to his children, denying phone access, calling the police when he is 10 minutes late at drop-off on a holiday-this is called PARENTAL ALIENATION and is in violation of the divorce decree.
He has paid what child support he can and has tried to get the figure modified only to be give run around by the Texas Attorney General's office.  His ex-wife has LIED because she has not included any of the cash payments she manipulated him into giving her and has bypassed court-ordered mediation and has gone straight to contempt of court and asked for imprisonment and knowing he won't miss visitation, had him served in front of his kids.  Yet legal aid is too busy to help, legal clinics won't talk to you for fear of being sued for giving the wrong advice and even when I successfully filed a motion for a court appointed attorney, which we thought was a major victory, seeing no one would help with even the formatting of the motion, the court appointed attorney will only help with the child spport part of the case-and no-one will tell me why they didn't rule on the motion that I filed for a court appointed attorney for the modification.  NO ONE WILL HELP UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY. 
I've seen this myself when i had to file a pro-se divorce after being abused-and funnym I haven't received child support in five years but the case keeps getting pushed off because I can' aford an attorney. 
THE PEOPLE WHO NEED THE MOST HELP CANNOT GET IT.  This is not the land of the free-IT IS THE LAND OF THE ATTORNEY.
