got dad to pay for his lawyer? I cannot afford a lawyer and now he is harassing me in my own home because we are still under the same roof different rooms, he trys to record me after he gets me mad and say s he is going to tell his lawyer how can I fight his lawyer in court all I asked for was spousal support. I feel helpless
to answer to one person on here, I am a big girl who is working part time and going to school. He thought it would be better not to have a full workload so I could go to school little did I know he had a secret life. I asked for help to move out and he agreed but when I put it on paper he called his dad and he paid for his lawyer I tried to find help through the court for low price attorney and its outragous I am with my mom now but does not change the things he is doing. I'm going through this alone and don't know my rights. I joined the army but until those things changed all I wanted was help moving out that is all is that to much to ask after 8yrs of all his abuse?
I signed up for the military to take care of me and my daughter, and to get help with school. My military stuff is on hold and I am not in as of yet. So my part time job will not get me through right now.
 
spousal support? as in you want him to give you money after you are separated? you've got to be kidding! if there is a child, you will get child support. if there's not, you are on your own and will need to be a big girl and support yourself.
 
First of all... don't allow yourself to be baited into a fight.

Secondly, you need to intercept all financial documents to present as proof in court. Let the judge decide.

Hit the bookstore and pick up the latest do-it-yourself divorce guide for your state... you need information.
Check with the local women's center or state bar association to see if they can refer you to an attorney that works on a sliding fee scale.
The fact that your dude decided to get a lawyer right out of the chute means that he is afraid.
 
You have to have been married for a certain length of time and have been dependent on his income to be eligible for alimony.If your able to work,the amount of alimony would be small if any is awarded.

You need to get out of that situation fast,not a healthy environment for you.And he can have all the lawyers he wants,courts side with women 99% of the time.
