Legal Question in Family Law in California

It's there any?? Attorney, in the Central San Joaquin Valley that would take Divorce on Contingency and collect from the Husband the fee's?????? Everyone wants money I haven't had Money of my own for years.. He, has left me, penniless, mentally, physically and emotionally incapable... No car, no resources... I am Allowed what he allows me and only that... He, will not get my car fixed..

I have nowhere to go.. .. Become so ill can't handle anything , just so brow beaten.. can hardly hold my head up... I live in Constant Fear.. I have no power.

Me: Once a professional and in full charge person taking care of Mother, Brother, Nephew, Wife and child� To Falling in Love and Marring a Man with two toddlers 2 & 3 years of age. Through 20 years of Marriage was only allowed the use of a Car a total of 5 years, trapped and confined to home. No allowed money, had to beg for everything and was told I had to learn to Sacrifice. Was deprived of Vitamins and Protein needed to survive after Gastric Bypass Surgery. Was allowed 1 pack of Cigarettes every other day� ( have been a smoker before we met) And told no more than 2 pots of Coffee per day for 3 adults.. Was constantly told if I wanted life to be better � to throw my daughter and Grandchildren on the street� Yet he acted like he loved them and wanted to take care of them. Telling my daughter she earned her way by cooking, cleaning, and errands�

Becoming a all adoring puppet that soon could hardly talk, believing that I was Stupid, useless, unnecessary, worthless and didn�t deserve to live� Attempting suicide several times, flooded with severe Depression, Serve Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Insomnia, Night Terrors, Battered Wife Syndrome, Stockholm Syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Physical illness, Twitches, Cluster Headaches, Shaking, Falling, Trembling, In Constant Fear, Unable to function.

Constantly snuck upon.. always startled, scared, worried, showed no affection� Never knew what to expect he chanced likes, dislikes daily� Always Go away Come back attitude� Was told I love too much, then not enough, then not at all� Never was correct in actions, words, Nothing..

I want to get divorced and get my spousal support, learn to live and feel strong again, become empowered once again..

Thank you
