Legal Question in Family Law in California

my husband deserted me 4 years ago. He has not paid for any support. I can't afford a lawyer. My only income is ssi and ssa. I went to free legal places, but they wouldn't take my case. They wouldn't take it because they said there would be too much discovery. How can I find an attorney who would take my case on contingency?

It is unethical to take a divorce case on contingency. We are subject to State Bar disciplinary action if we do it.
