oh shoot, vera - thanks -for some reasonn i though KD wrote both your post and his. luckily i went back to look
thanks for your great advice - and i am looking to you tough knowledgeable chicks out there to help guide me down this road - i will admit i don't have a clue, on all this financial/ legal stuff.
so a lot of my answer to kd includes responding to you - sorry i got mixed up.
No worries. As long as the words get to you that's what matters
If you are truly worried about paying for a L, contact your county or state bar association. They should be able to refer you to family law attys who handle matters on a sliding scale or do pro bono work. I would be wary of Ls who charge for the initial consult upfront (i.e. make you pay a flat fee for the hour regardless of whether you hire them). I went to one like that, figured I'd just eat the fee b/c she was highly recommended, and I HATED her and then was out a few hundred $$ for a visit where she asked why I was there and then made me feel like an idiot. Please don't make that same mistake!
