HOW CAN I FIND REPRESENTATION FOR MY DIVORCE CASE?

QUESTION: How can I find a family law attorney who is willing to handle my divorce pro bono or possibly take monthly payments. My spouse has hired an attorney known as a "shark" and I do not want to go into this alone, but I can't afford to hire an attorney at this point. Thanks!

MY RESPONSE:

Call Family Law Attorneys in your area to find out whether they would be willing to file a Divorce and an Order to Show Cause for Attorney's Fees on either a Limited Scope basis or a Full Service Basis.

The law about attorney's fees orders was amended as of January 1, 2011 to enable a party to obtain an attorney fee order early on in a case, to "level the playing field".

If your husband can afford a shark, he likely can afford to pay attorney's fees to your attorney pursuant to a court order.
