Q: I’m a 64 y/o woman who separated from my husband in December 2015 after 20 yrs of marriage.
Today, my attorney informed me that we have an 8/3 court date, at which time he will ask to withdraw from my case because he’s closing his practice. What am I supposed to do now? $6000 paid in legal fees. I’m broke. I received one Pendante Lite hearing that resulted in low temporary spousal support. The rest on hourly fees for??? Now I’m left without representation at my most vulnerable hour. I’m losing all military spousal benefits and insurance, I may lose my home (marital property) that I used my townhouse to purchase. I spent my life caring for my children, mother with Alzheimer’s, and raising a special needs granddaughter for 16 yrs. I did not work and pay into Social Security/Medicare. I am not eligible for those benefits. I’m month-by-month, one step away from homelessness if I cannot find an attorney to assist me through the remainder of this divorce. Anyone willing to help me? There’s equity in my home. I just need to get through the remainder of this divorce with your help!
