I don't really want to air my personal life for all to see right now, but I'm going through a divorce and I need some help with paying lawyer fees. We are hoping at this point to settle out of court but I still want a lawyer to help me through this process and to make sure I'm doing the right things.
Please, if anyone knows of programs that offer financial assistance in cases like this, let me know ASAP.

 

Sorry Chase, I dont have anything for you. Just wanted to offer my support to you.

 

Sorry to hear this Chase. I don't know of any programs that help with this. I wish you all the luck bro.

 

I know the feeling.............. Best to you man...

best of luck to you. have you tried to talk with your lawyer and set up a payment type plan with him? i was lucky and mine allowed me to do this.

 

I've already been in contact with them.

Yes he did say he would be willing to work with me, but I still want as much assistance as possible.

 

Don't know of any programs, just wanted to offer support and wish you the best of luck.

 

The important this to remember is the layer gets paid by hour. So the more you and your future x can accomplish on your own, it will be cheaper for both of you. Also shop around for a different lawer. Get some second opinions. Prices are all over the place with those folks.

When i went through it both me and my x were aware of this. So we both sought out lawyers. We both got a list of the process and the steps required. We both had phone conversations and worked out the issues without lawyers. And only had a few things to work out. I believe it was less than $1,000 to complete the deal for me.

Hard time regardless and i also wish you the best of luck and support. The hardest part, for me was keeping my sanity. Hang in there.

Edit. One more thought. "COMPROMISE" even if she don't. Try not to battle over a $200 TV. That TV can end up costing $1,000 in the long run. (tv was an example)
When kids are involved it gets complicated and painful. We are here for yea. I also has a Son stuck in the middle. I also had to think about what was best for him even when she didn't, Thinking about making it painless as possible for him which was more Compromise. The pain involved was more severe for me than the money, So hang in there stay calm, don't make snap decisions, and take lots of deep breaths.

 

I agree, and already we are butting heads over stuff like this, but at the same time I don't want to let her walk on me and make her feel like she has the upper hand. Unfortunately she has a rich grandpa who is footing her lawyer fees, I'm on my own.

 

No chance of resolving the relationship?

 

Good point Dan, Maybe Counselor?

 

Well, being that she's had an affair twice with the same guy in the last 7 months, and has "fooled around" with him in a non-affair fashion several times over the last year, and I found out about it and she said "I'm in love with him and not you anymore" I'd say no the relationship can't be saved. She has threatened to leave before, I asked her to stay and give me a chance to work it out with her for my sake, and for our kids' sake. She agreed, but in the meanwhile she's been emailing the other guy several times a day, almost every day. So yeah, nails are in the coffin on this 10 year relationship/7.5 year marriage.

 

Chase I am really sorry brother. I wish that you could work things out. If you need to talk I am here to listen and help in any way that I can. I know what you are going through I have walked that road myself.

 

Chase, can't offer anything but an open ear, I'm in the RHN if need be. Really sorry to hear this buddy.
