If he qualifies, he would be able to get a lawyer through the Legal Services of the Hudson Valley 914*949*1305.

If your friend is not indigent however he is going to get what he pays for, which is to say not much.

Divorce is expensive if it is done correctly. A mistake could cost him forever. Now is the time to spend the money. Borrow it if necessary but get it right because he will have to take care of those four kids forever, so it is important that he not get stuck with a support payment that will kill him.

Good Luck to your friend.
