    Washington State Divorce
    My friends husband is in the Air Force and they are getting a divorce. She quit her job to move to Washington state with him and had no income other than his. She had a child before this marriage and is the custodial parent. He marked that there were no dependents in the dissolution paperwork, but still listed the child. Both rely on the husband to live. She was served with divorce papers and he will not pay more than 300 dollars a month to her to live off, and is making her pay half of his bills, around 9000 dollars each. She has less than 1000 dollars a month income and has lived with me for the past few months. The final hearing for dissolution was supposed to be on the 4th of February. The husband hired an attorney who mailed her a letter requesting her to strike the hearing on the 4th so he can draw up final papers to suit him. She is terrified of having to pay even more because now there are attorney fees involved and she has student loans to pay off and now 9000 extra dollars. She cannot afford an attorney, is there any way we can fight this?

    How does she know she can't afford an attorney? Had she tried consulting with one? If he has an attorney she can't afford not to have one. Its possible her attorney can get him to pay her fees!
