accepting pro-bono work

What is the name of your state? Florida

Last year I ran into a trial lawyer who decided to help me with my divorce for free, even though he was not in family law. My husband had an affair and therefore didn't contest to anything, plus he signed a paper so that he didn't have to show up to the final judgement.

Now my exhusband wants to take it back to court because he says that he was mislead by me regarding the best deal for him. He also said that I couldn't have a lawyer handle my case for free this time around. I can't get ahold of the lawyer that helped me the first time because he is out of the country. Is my exhusband correct, and can he take me back to court? He is only responsible for paying $230 a month for 2 years (actually just a little over 1 year is left on it.)

Thank you so much for any advice, I'm really confused and I don't have anyone to help.

He can always try to take it back to court. But his argument's not going to fly - it was not your responsibility to make sure the deal was good for him.

Thanks so much!!! That's what I was thinking but I didn't know if there were any loopholes in the system that I wasn't aware of. Do you know anything about the "not being able to accept probono help again?" I really can't afford a lawyer, however, if he does take this back to court he has mentioned that he has a lawyer (don't know if I believe him) and if I can get probono help then I would definitely want to have a lawyer with me.

I suspect he's talking out of his a$$. One of the best pieces of legal advice I ever got was - don't take any from your ex.
