There may be a dispute resolution center or community mediation service in your area, and their rates will be low. Even a private mediator will be less expensive in the long run than an attorney. A skilled mediator will bring out both the substantive issues and the underlying emotional interests which have caused and fueled this unfortunate dispute. If you are able to arrange for mediation, you will at the very least have a full opportunity to tell your story, something you would probably not have in the court system. And since the courts are apparently not a viable option in your case, you haven't got much to lose by trying it. i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have about the process, which I am currently learning.
