Thanks, Snodderly. It's scary but I know it needs to be done. The first course of action is to get a support order and hopefully attorneys fees. I was dragged into this legal action without any way of paying an attorney. I wasn't given money (I was solely dependent on my H when he left) to hire an attorney early on and have been at his mercy from the beginning. I was given retainer money which is being deducted from money owed to me, but have racked up a huge bill just defending myself. Surely the court will see that I have been at a disadvantage.
