What is the name of your state? N.J
I have been married for 4 years but have been living together 10. For the last 9 years I have been the sole provider for my family as my wife was a stay home mom for our 2 children. I have just paid for her secondary schooling to become a Medical Assistant. She now wants a divorce so she can live her life. She plans on taking the kids. We currently still reside in the same home,same bed even but there's no other interaction. My friend says she's going to get the house and the good car due to the fact that the judge is going to give the kids (9 & 6) to her. I only make 35K a year and I can't afford to find any legal help with out severely impacting the lively hood of my kids. Most laywers charging $250 and up for a consult. Can any one help with ideas or place to get inexpensive legal advice?
