Your friend is a fool
Yeah, maybe. He refuses to get a 9-5 job, which I think would solve a lot of his problems here. It'd simultaneously demonstrate stability as well as allow him to afford a lawyer. If he worked a 40 hour week like the rest of us and still couldn't afford a lawyer, I'd be more inclined to chip in on fees. Otherwise a very good, principled man.
against a skilled attorney.
Not so sure on this one. I don't know enough specifics, but I know she can't afford an expensive attorney either. What they're getting away with is precedent and it being a "mother state", as opposed to Texas (where he grew up) where it's 50/50 pretty much no matter what.
Anyway, I plan on sending a book or two, and he's already said he's been to the library, so maybe I can rest with a clear conscience. Really good kid. Deserves more time with his Dad.

Mom will win IF the child is with Mom more time. If the child is with HIM more time before court, he has a chance at winning. Courts don't like to disrupt a child's pattern.
That said, get away from this drama. It's painful stuff and rarely ends up helping anyone. You sound like a kind soul, someone who hasn't been burned too many times so take my advice. Let their drama be their drama. Keep out of it.
