You may qualify for representation through Utah Legal Services. Their number is (801) 328-8891. In the very short term you should be reporting any violations of an existing no contact order to the police, and if there is no order in place to protect the three year old then you need to get one ASAP. If ULS is unable to help you, there are good attorneys who may be able to work with you, but you can expect a full divorce trial to cost you upwards of $10,000 and possibly much more. If your husband is well off financially and you are not, there may also be a chance that the court would order him to pay your fees. Good luck!
