Re: divorce

Why don't you try to find an attorney who can accept payments. Or, if that does not work Contact Legal Aid. They may not help, but maybe they can direct you to some place that can. In our county we have two programs for persons in your situation. One judge holds a class one night a month showing people how to do their own divorce and complete the paperwork necessary. Naturally, he is elected by landslide every 4 years. The other program is through the county bar association where lawyers volunteer to help obtain a divorce for those that cannot afford an attorney. Both programs require qualification by income through Legal Aid. Good Luck.
