Q: If I am going through a divorce and don’t have funds to pay for a lawyer, what are my options?
Can I have my husband pay for my lawyer or are there certain requirements to be eligible for that? I’m open to any references of reasonably priced attorneys that might offer a payment plan or if you know of any legal aid, I would appreciate it
A: You can ask for you husband to pay lawyer fees, interium and final, depending on your resources, you may get them. It is a balancing act. If you are employed and have access to credit, maybe not, depends on size of estate, waste, experts maybe needed
