You dont need a lawyer anyone can represent themselves. Also there are nonprofit lawyers, cheap lawyers. Divorce sucks, and people one welfare suck taking my tax dollars. J.O.B its not hard

Don’t go to court without one.

u know that u talkin bout u!! but just divorce him!

Depends. Some states will actually provide a lawyer, especially if there is a child involved. Also, some lawyers will do a divorce for a flat fee, sometimes as low as $500-$700. Unless there is a child involved, what’s his worry? Are there huge amounts of assets or something?

And to those who speak of those on welfare "sucking tax dollars", there are many single moms on welfare who paid into the system for a long time before getting any bennies. They are probably taking some time out to raise the kids they are left with after their husbands walk out on them, at least until they go to court and get some child support. A couple of years home with mom can work wonders on the outcome of a child. Sticking young children and babies in daycare does way more damage to your precious system than a few years of cash. These kids of stay at home moms will come out more secure, stable and better educated, and far more likely to get jobs and contribute instead of ending up young parents themselves, or as delinquents or convicts.

anything is possible.. being on that source of income doesnt mean anything.. may have someone else helping to pay.. u should call and find out

you go to social services they may help you or you can get a Pro bono lawyer in which will do all but filing fee which is about 275.00 your cost…………….

Depending on what state this person lives in she could get a free public defender and she would be able to acquire a divorce.

There is such a thing called "Legal Aide" Have her contact her Social Service office and ask for the number.
