Should I get a lawyer for my child paternity hearing in a couple weeks? If so, is it still possible to?

Hello, I have a paternity hearing on 4/30 and I am not sure if a lawyer is necessary. I've read mixed reviews online and originally was just going to represent myself. I own a seasonal small business that is about to get underway in May, spending a bunch of money right now would be difficult. Is there payment options? My daughter is worth it of course! Her mother is a 27 yr old stay at home mom who lives with her parents. I am starting to have second thoughts on representing myself and I am not sure what to do at this point. I have a 1 year old daughter who I have paid some support for and currently am allowed to have her for 9 hours a week. We just can't come to an agreement on a schedule. Also won't let me sign the birth certificate and it's very frustrating of course and not fair or beneficial for our daughter. I have done a lot of reading to educate myself but would feel more comfortable seeking legal advice and or representative. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
