mortgage, played with rebuilding autos, and hunting.....guess


who has the bank account...Where can I find advice for wife in preparing for a divorce other than an attorney...cannot afford.?
Most divorce lawyers will take cases on contigency, and since you are considered low income, you can have it stated, that your hubby will pay the lawyer fees.


Most likely, sell the house and split 50/50


or you keep the house and he must pay


you child support for 1, and alimony for half the years you were married, to help you get on your feet.

He can't do that - sorry. HE can't take everything and leave you guys with no way to survive.





He is going to have to help you and pay child support. You HAVE to get an attorney - many will set up a payment plan and since he walked out and left you with no way to survive, you attorney will probably fight to have him pay all court fees.





Don't wait until you lose your home - get an attorney now. He's responsible for child support from the minute he walks out the door.





Good Luck.
Possibly try other people who have gone through the same situation.





Sometimes when you talk to those that have ';walked in those shoes'; it can really turnout to be truly helpful.





Hope it helps
You can't afford NOT to have an attorney.


Go to the library and get some books on divorvce, child support, etc. in your state. Call legal aid
Is the relationship in such a bad place that you guys cant talk nicely about how to go your seperate ways without hurting each other finaicailly
