Q: Where can I get a pro-bono lawyer for my divorce. I am a single mom of 6 and need it done asap.
I have been separated from my ex and need to get a divorce asap. He has charges pending and I am living in the house that is in his name right now with 5 of my children 2 of which are his. There are too many details to write in here but If I can get some help that would be amazing I have been going through hell almost 2 years now and want my life back.
A: First of all, what county do you live in. Each county has a probate court. A Divorce Complaint should be filed and served and Temporary orders concerning preservation of the marital estate and custody and support should all be filed and scheduled, but before this you should contact divorce counsel to discuss your case particulars particularly whether you and/or the children are safe.
