Legal Question in Family Law in New York

after a divorce

I had a very bad divorce case and because I could not afford a lawyer for part of the time in court aI went into default. Then I hired an attorney and he did absolutely nothing for me. I don't think he knew how to handle a default case and I want to go back to court foer recourse and an appeal to a hire court. I do not have much funds and I am looking for a woman lawyer who may be able to handle this, preferably pro bono. I am truly suffering and sleeping on a lounge chair in my mom's tiny basement apartment with no bedroom, no closet, no dresser nothing! and I was in duress when I signed the stipulation agreement and now he {husband) isn't even paying me right. Please assist me. No woman should have to go through this abuse just because she can't afford a lawyer to represent her in court.
