A friend is in the midst of divorcing her husband (it's been an ongoing struggle for 2 years). They no longer live together - he lives with his girlfriend. There is one child who lives with her, but he gets visitation. He is paying child support. She is living in an apartment where they are going to require proof of divorce in order to allow her to renew her lease. He is dragging his feet on filing the paperwork because he "now" feels that he paying too much in child support (he decided this when he moved in with his girlfriend). He has told her he wants to get a lawyer involved, and knows she cannot afford to do this. Without the paperwork being filed, she is stuck. As stated, she cannot afford a lawyer at all, and is now having difficulty paying her bills because he decided to cut back on the support that he was paying.
What are her options? She told me she called "legal aid" and they told her they were not taking on any new cases.
Is there something she can file that will force him to appear in front of some mediator?
She is a good person, and good mom, and deserves to be in a better situation, and I want to try and help her if I can.
Any adivce is greatly appreciated.
