Q: Getting a Lawyer with Nothing in the Bank
I asked this twice already with no answers. Last question was sitting a month without a reply. I am sure I know why. Yet, I will keep asking until I get help.
With an upcoming divorce that needs to be done from a spouse who did bad things, how does one get a lawyer to assist? Got nothing in the bank except rent money. Can not get loans. No one is going to give me money, so do not ask for me to ask family/friends. I contacted a bunch and lawyers seem not to do payment plans and expect someone to sacrifice rent money to pay them. Even thousands of dollars at once. Man, I am lucky to have $20. Probono whatevers will not assist me.
So, again, where does one turn for help with no money now or later?
Thank you.

A: If you are at McDonald's and want a cheeseburger and don't have any money, the most often out come is - youse don't get a cheeseburger. Its the same for legal work. However, it never hurts to ask. As far as I know, your cheapest viable option would be to have divorce forms and instructions prepared for you for $95 so you can do your own divorce. But that would be for a simple uncontested divorce. If you need help with other issues such as alimony, spousal support or E.D. - its going to be expensive.
