Re: divorce

If you just filed for bankruptcy, you should have some disposable income. $2,500 is not a huge retainer and I would think this court date has been pending for some time now. Your best bet is to hire an attorney and then your attorney can seek an adjournment to get up to speed on your case. If you qualify, you may be able to get inexpensive or free legal advice from a legal aid clinic or from a local law school.

Good luck.
