What Do You Do When You Can Not Afford A Lawyer??? - 04/28/06 08:01 PM
Hi, everyone! I usually post on the EN board. This advice really is not for me but a friend. I know, I know you are saying ya right but it is the truth. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Here is the situation.
My friend is getting divorced due to her H's A. They have two children and have been split for about 4-5 months. During this time he has not paid her anything for support. She had D papers drawn up through an Indian office, due to her hertitage the cost was only $35. She has given him the land (pd. for), the house, and 4 out of 6 horses. She literally walked away with the truck (which she is paying for) and the kids. They calculated the child support and medical stuff for her as well. The 1st time he refused to sign the papers because he wated to pay $50 less a month CS. So she had that reduced and it still was not good enough. He now has had his own papers drawn up wanting her to say that she will change her last name and that she will not change the beneficiary of her life insuarnce policy...gee guess who that is? Which I must say really creeped her out. Nowhere in the papers did it even mention CS. She was told to write a response letter anf file at the court house. She obviously can not afford an attorney as she is really struggling since he has not been helping her financially with the children. Any suggestions as to what she might be able to do and will she be able to collect any money for the time that they have been apart? Any help is greatly appreciated! Sooner
