Texas law Denton county

I cannot afford an attorney. I quit my full time job and took a less paying part-time job that offered insurance so that I could take care of my son. My estranged spouse is being given money from his parents to divorce me. I do not have any way to afford one. This is my last resort. I will take any help at all. Really even just a general pointing in the right direction or like a watch out for this part. I tried to make this shortened to the parts that seem to be questionable. Everything else seemed like it was pretty standard CYA stuff.
