How do I get a divorce attorney when husband controls all finances and I have no money?
He has everything in his name. I have no access to any money and when he does give me any money at all, I have to account for every penny I spend even though he buys big ticket items without even letting me know beforehand or asking my opinion. It’s been this way for 22 years. I want to know how to get an attorney when I can’t afford a retainer. (He’ll be able to afford the best there is). Any advice is MUCH appreciated!!!
Can’t get a loan from a bank because husband totally destroyed my credit (on purpose when he got wind that I wanted out…..he stopped paying anything that was in my name…which wasn’t much to begin with, but enough to ruin my credit for 7 years.)
I have only one friend who I rarely keep in touch with now because he has a fit when I have any friends at all.
Family is all distant too. He likes me all to himself.
I’m basically alone when it comes to this. Need a way to get an attorney and have that attorney maybe make him pay all fees…if that’s possible.
My name is on nothing. He controls everything. So, I can’t go to the bank and take money out for the retainer. I really wish it were that simple!
As far as getting a job, I look online every day and I’m planning to go to an employment agency. I worked for 20 years (on and off since every time I worked he accused me of cheating and made my life even more hellish at home to stress me out and get me to quit my job so I would be totally under his thumb again. And no…I never could save a dime then because he expected to know where every penny went even though he never accounts for anything)
Yupsiree! How do I claim poverty? Do I go to an attorney for a consultation and tell them I have no income and expect my husband to pay all fees out of the divorce? Is that possible? Thanks!!!!
