I filed for a no fault divorce years ago in Florida which hopefully my soon to be ex spouse agreed to and we both signed a agreement (notorized). Ex spouse which I put up in a apartment, came over to my house (house was mine before the marriage) and stole all my credit cards and broke all the agreements and then counter filed a no fault divorce. After years of abuse to me and my children of a different marriage and years of her drug use, she has put me in so much debt I can't every recover without being bankrupt which my credit is shot. She filed bankruptcy so that she would not have to pay these bills we made together. Judge ordered me to pay temporary support of a unbeliveable amount for which left me with all the dept and no where to live because of my credit. With paying her this support I could no longer afford to pay my lawyers fee and he said he could not represent me anymore and dropped me. I had no money. I moved to another state for a new job and divorce is not final in Flordia. I got fired from my job because I traveled for my job could no longer afford buisness trips needed because of paying this temporary support and I couldnt get my credit cards straighted out because of same circumstances. I borrowed money and got a lawyer in Florida when living in a different state and trying to commuicate with him by phone, he took the money and ran and did nothing for me except to say,"pay her what she ask for" and then dropped me. It seem IMPOSSIBLE to get a good lawyer if I am in another state. Now after eight thousand dollars in lawyers fees that are gone I have to represent myself. I have no choice. I haven't heard from her or her lawyer in three years until Christmas. My question is can I change this to a no fault divorce to a fault divorce? I am still trying to make the money for a lawyer and want one but they set this divorce up for trial soon. I feel I will not get a fair trial in Florida. As a man with children, do I have any rights at all? If I were a woman with children, they would make her pay support to me. We have no children from our marriage. She can work and support herself, I set her up with a buisness and she lost it. She is able to work but yet she is very greedy. I made many attempts to mediate but unless it included me completely broke, was not accepted. If you can just comment or give me idea on getting a lawyer that would work for me and WITH me, I would appreciate it.
