It seems that you are in imminent danger of irreparable harm, justify an application for emergent

relief from the Court, by way of an application for an order to show cause. I am willing to help you for a reduced fee.

Call me if you like.

The other attorneys already answered your question. $8000 is pretty steep and it seems like your husband makes a lot of money. You should have filed a motion for counsel fees at least for now to even out the playing field. I would call some of the attorneys here and see what they would charge you to get on the case. Good luck.
