Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Can you say no? you are getting divorced, your husband has an attorney, and you do not?

You do not have a lawyer because you can not afford one. I understand, but you must not do this. you will get crushed in court. let me say it another way:

PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE

Please get a lawyer. If you need to talk to twenty lawyers to find one who will work with you on payment, please keep looking. Talk to fifty lawyers.

But get a lawyer.

It is hard to find a good divorce lawyer who will fight for you and not charge an obscene amount of your money.

Find someone who spends most of their time in divorces. Find someone who has been in court several times this year (2014) in the county courthouse where your divorce will be filed. If they don't go to court often, they are not the lawyer you want. And find someone who has handled at least three or four full and complete divorce trials.

And NO you do not have to consent. but I have no idea whether you should consent or not. And the lawyer will probably get the adjournment due to vacation. but i still do not have enough information to give you any advice at all.
