How can I get my husband to pay for my lawyer if we divorce?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Usually you will have to pay the attorney a retainer, but then you could ask to have "pendente lite" relief, which means the other party pays support payments pending divorce.  If you do not earn any income, then you can also get the other party to pay the fees.  child support is also based on who has the kids for which nights.  So if visitation includes one overnight per week, then they figure out the child support and reduce it by one night.  Get a pro se packet from the court - you can download it form the State Judiciary website, and try filing on your own.

I agree with the previous attorney's answer:  It's difficult to know exactly what has happened in your case. Unless the prior court order clearly stated that upon your former spouse moving from the residence she was in at the time of your divorce, you were allowed to immediately ireduce your spousal support payments to her by a certain dollar amount, if you simply arbitrarily began sending her less money after she moved, you may have "done something wrong" by violating the prior court order.  You didn't indicate what happened after the opposing counsel claimed your action was self-serving.  Did the judge make a ruling?  Is the matter still pending? In the mean time, I don't think you need to use any particular legal term to make your argument to the court.  IF the prior order is clear in its terms and is still in effect, just refer to the actual terms in the order that you believe give you the right to lower the child support.
