Q: I have been married 17 years. I live at Fedscreek, KY so how long and how much would a divorce cost. We are 39 years old
We also have 3 kids and we all live with his mom. We have a double wide and we're fixing it up to live up there together but he doesn't want to leave his mom and be a man and pay bills so he won't even fix the water or bathroom up there. It's not livable where we are renovating and recently someone robbed us and took thousands of dollars in tools and decor. He won't even fix my car for me so I will have a car and the kids don't even want to be around him anymore and they used to love their dad. He is threatening to take the kids from me and there is no way I can let him raise the kids. They would be in hell living here without me. He needs mental help seriously. What do I need to do to get a divorce, custody of my kids and to make him help fix up our double wide and pay child support??? I don't want anything from him but for him to take care of his kids and stop blowing his money on drugs. Please help! I don't know what to do cause I have no money and no one who will help me.
A: Impossible to say cost. Could be $1,000, could be 25,000. Depends on the amount of time necessary to get it resolved.
