To make a VERY LONG story short. My husband & I have been separated now for 4 months. I moved out 1 1/2 months ago as he wouldn't leave. I had been a stay at home mome for seven years. No schooling, except for some community college. I got a job at a supermarket as a checker, but only working 20-25 hours a week. I have my children now every other week. (three precious boys 7yr, 4yr, and 1yr). We had a savings so that is what I used to pay for my place, because I do not have any family. I paid 4 months up front. The money is dwindling down as I have had to make purchases...couch/entertainment center/stools/etc. Then groceries, gas, diapers, special milk for youngest, etc. Since August he has given me $735 for sex. He paid me $300 two different times for sex and $135 recently for sex. I know that is sick. I am going to counseling as well to ARMS (Abuse Recovery Ministry & Services) group. I was sexually abused in our marriage for the last nine years. I'm getting help now as I have had no self-worth.
I guess my question is how to get a lawyer...a probono one or cheap one at that? Do you have any tips on what I need to look for in a lawyer? I really don't want to do anything legally, but I asked him again last night if he would be willing to help me some finanically and his answer is no. He is extremely narcissitic and extremely controlling and emotionally/mentally abusive. I don't know what to do other than get the ball rolling legally so I can get some help financially. Like I said I don't have any family or anywhere to stay with three boys for free, so I'm having to figure this out on my own and work.
Any suggestions/ideas/help...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
