Whether the fight is for your bumper or for your children, there is no question as to whether you will need professional lawyer representation, as a form of medium between yourself and an opposing party who wants something that will affect you adversely. In the few instances someone has not wished for a lawyer, they have been entirely unsuccessful, and when it is a personal case, such as child custody, a lawyer must be hired so that you will be able to keep the shirt on your back.
A judge is not able to force a party to hire a lawyer in most instances, and to represent ones' self Is referred to as "pro se." It is really never recommended because the common person is not familiar with courtroom proceedings as well as legal statutes and precedents that compose the "rules of the game." It is the duty of the lawyer to learn and study these as closely as possible until they are able to argue and find their favorable outcome.
If you are arguing a civil suit against a large corporation, you can count on needing a lawyer. Defective products and injury suits are brought up against these companies frequently, and for that reason it is the duty of themselves and their legal staff to make sure you do not collect any damages, regardless of who is responsible. What this simply means is you need an attorney, and by getting one, everything is completely taken care of, and the probability of having a happy ending increases exponentially.
Divorce, child custody, alimony, or any other suit involving the splitting up of a family is a complicated issue because a world must be divided in a matter of days, and unfortunately there is a winner and loser more often than not. In these instances literally everything is taken into account, and the lives of the guardians are held under very closer scrutiny. If you have any past transgressions of the law, you are practically guaranteed a loss without representation. Also if you are trying to work and maintain a life, you probably do not have time to probe deeply into the life of your "ex" looking for faults to present to a judge. Nor obtaining school and medical and work records, which often requires legal processes in of themselves, as official documents are not often shared freely. All this is considered without even mentioning the intense emotional repercussions of such a huge step also. Even if there is nothing specifically wrong, one can count on needing legal representation when they least expect it, and this is not a scenario to be blind-sided with.
