Legal Question in Family Law in New York
divorce, custody
i have a divorce and custody case pending for almost a year
we were supposed to settle but now my ex husband changed his mind and will not settle
i owe a lot of money to my attorney and this means even more money
can i request the court to appoint an attorney free of charge?

Re: divorce, custody
You might try the local legal service, but they have serious financial limitations which causes legal services to not take everyone.
The Court will not appoint a free lawyer for your case.

Re: divorce, custody
there are no court appointed attorneys in divorce matters as far as i am aware of. There are lawyers who handle family matters through the 18B panel which you may inquire about.
