Shiner, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Unfortunately, due to the issues surrounding your case (having children, one of whom has been abused by your ex husband), it will be very difficult for you to pursue this case on your own. You want to ensure that you receive as many protections as you can for your children as well as whatever you are entitled to financially (child support, your share of community property, etc.). As such, I recommend contacting several local attorneys and asking them if they offer payment plans or alternative billing arrangements to handle cases like yours. If you don't find any attorneys willing to take your case at a reduced fee or willing to make payment arrangements, my next suggestion is to ask for help from close family and friends. You need a qualified attorney's representation for the best possible outcome. Good luck.

You can ask the court for permission to use community funds or to sell community assets to pay the ad litem.  You can also ask the court for permission to incur debt to pay the ad litem.

The law related to collection of child support is complicated, particularly when orders were entered in one state and the enforcement request will be in another state.
