I have no job at present and no assets to pay an attorney, but my wife has filed for divorce and custody of our child. Can I request a court appointed attorney and if so, what are the steps. Can I pay by installment after that case? How does it work? Please advise, thank you.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
Courts do not appoint attorneys for civil cases; only in criminal cases. Call your State Bar Association (Dial Information Operator for Number) and ask if they have a "pro bono" panel of Family Law lawyers for indigent clients. If so, make an appointment. If not, contact Legal Aid in your community. They charge on a sliding scale.
