Q: Is there a way to secure legal representation without funds? I have tried to find help and have not been succesful.
Searching since 2013, I survive on Social Security Disability, my issues are settlement of divorce, Ex has dominated the issues surrounding our divorce because he has resourses and access to legal counsel, I have applied and have been turned down twice through C.LS., I suffer from anxiety disorder, affects my ability to explain my need and unable to defend self in court. Court has awarded ex funds for belongings he failed to collect when notified. Ex claimed less than 1/2 our debts. Awarded attorney's fees! Ex allowed to enter home after three years for three hours to search for belongings.
A: Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of free or cost controlled resources available in family law. Perhaps contact ASU's law school or consult the court roster of attorney's who accept cases at a modest means rate. It still won't eliminate the cost, but it might make it more manageable.
