I haven't heard the entire show, so I don't know if this has been discussed.  A woman called in to talk about emotional abuse that had no physical manifestation, and said she was involved in a draining and scary court battle and had run out of resources.  There is an organization in Portland called the Saint Andrews Legal Clinic.  They work on a sliding scale based upon your ability to pay.  If they don't take your case, they have a referral list of lawyers that will work for reduced rates.  A friend of mine went through a similar set of continued court cases over custody until she lost her ability to fight due to her limited resources.  St. Andrews stepped in to help.  Hopefully the caller can find some help!
