Hello,
I have made some long posts. I will keep this one as short as I can.
I live in IL.
I am in Cook County.
I am on SSDI and Make less than $35K a year from SSDI and some small part time 1099 I.T. Work.
I have googled and searched but I could not found a phone number or an actual advice for what I am looking for. If it doesn't exist fine, but if it does exist please assist.
My current wife doesn't work. She is supposed to start a $10 an hour job next week as a cashier.
My question is being on SSDI, and in general being below a $35K per year for the household is there a legal center in Cook County or Du Page County (Next county over) that would provide free, or a reduced amount in legal fees/retainer so I could start the Divorce and Child custody process?
I cant afford a $5000 or more retainer, and $250 per hour or more to get Divorced and have child custody decided.
2nd question:
My lease for my apartment in over in about 5 months, I need to give notice to my landlord 60 days before the lease is up to let them know if I am going to renew or not.
My goal would be to move from this 3 bedroom apartment into a smaller size and cheaper apartment with my child.
The apartment is in the same town, and is walking distance to the school my child would attend, local library,local pharmacy, local park district and so forth.
It would be cheaper per month for the rent, and without needed a car to drive 5 times a week back and forth to school since the school would be in walking distance.
That would free up a lot of money to better care for my child. (I have family that can bring us get groceries and so forth, that would require a car)
At what point during the divorce process could I move with my child? Do I have the right at anytime or do I have wait until the divorce is complete?
As of now, I have a 3 bedroom. I am in one room, my child in their room, and current wife in the 3rd bedroom.
Thank you!
