CAN THE COURT MAKE MY SPOUSE MAKE A FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT?

QUESTION: Since my spouse wont agree to a financial settlement I am going forward with a bifurcation. Is there any way to have the courts make him make a financial settlement with me without a trial etc., as I can’t afford an attorney.

MY RESPONSE: If you can't come to a meeting of the minds (i.e., an agreement), your only other option would be to set the case for trial and have a trial. Even though you can't afford an attorney, if your spouse is employed, a Court might award you attorney's fees. You should contact experienced Family Law Attorneys in an effort to find an attorney who is willing to seek attorney's fees on your behalf in the case, to enable you to fund legal representation in the divorce case.
