A: You will have to be more specific on your question in order to be able to get a better response. If you run out of money because your assets are depleted, then the Court will have nothing to distribute among you and your spouse. If you run out of money and can no longer afford a lawyer, you will have to represent yourself. You should always consult with an attorney for your legal matters.
