QUESTION: Since I cannot afford my own representation, can I directly contact my ex-husband's attorney to discuss modifications to our divorce decree?
MY RESPONSE: You can, but you could possibly qualify for an attorney's fee order, and you would be far safer if you are represented by your own attorney in dealings with your husband's attorney. If your husband is represented by counsel, you should at least contact and consult with experienced Family Law Attorneys in your local area to determine whether you can find an attorney to represent you and seek an order for Attorney's Fees to fund whatever work is needed. If the "decree" that you address is a proposed Judgment, you would best be served by an experieced Family Law Attorney's dealing with your husband's attorney. If the Judgment has already been entered and there has been a material change of circumstances since its entry, you may qualify for a modification of certain terms.
