1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Now if you dot want to leave your hometown, there is only one serious step- Remote Working.
Firms like LexStart (there may be more, but I am not aware of them) provide WFH opportunities, I believe Thinking Legal is also one such place, but do not take my word for it. If your profile is corporate law, then you have options, however, if you are a Litigation Lawyer then.............
If this doesnt work out, invest a few thousand rupees in UpWork and start looking for legal jobs. There are plenty of Drafting jobs there and them foreigners, they do pay well. You can easily earn 40-80k in the beginning stages.
Third option, the long term option, start building a business of legal services which can be totally remote,- this part, I do not know well and someone more experienced can help, but SEO, LinkedIN articles, blog articles etc are a good start. This should be your ultimate goal, if moving to a bigger city is not an option at all.
And stop with this entitled attitude, you asked for advise and you got one from mid-seniority level guy here.
I am not going to be wasting any more time on you.
If you come for help, be humble, you cant be arrogant and in need of help both at the same time.
So suck it. Get help from someone else.
Kisi aur se lele real answers phir.
Maybe convince some other Law Firm to let you WFH (I have seen this happen).
Leave town and go no contact with your useless family.
