A friend and her husband have decided to divorce. He is the primary earner, she works a low wage job. He has cut her off financially. They are still living in the same condo. They are about to attempt to negotiate a separation agreement. I told her she needs a divorce lawyer. She contacted one who said he would need $12,000 for the separation agreement. She is earning barely enough to sustain day-to-day. Is there a way for her to get the advice she needs, perhaps on the basis of the husband's ability to pay?
