Attorney Needed
I’m a SAHM and my partner is very emotionally abusive. I’m so fed up I need to take action. What kind of lawyer should I contact? Do you have to pay upfront? I’m so confused and hurt and angry but most of all I’m just exhausted. Every time he realizes I’m ready to be out he comes back with apologizes and promises. I’m losing hope. Anyone else go through something similar?

Check out CADA. Are you married or single( I’m not asking for you to answer but it matters in terms of resources available) If you have record or proof he’s abusing you they can recommend lawyers that will go by income. If you are not married you’re considered a single mom even if you live together. They may use his income tho. There are options for you! My heart goes out to you, I’ve been in a toxic relationship with little ones and for your sanity and their all-around health I hope you can get the help you need!
Step mamma here. My husband has been looking into attorneys because his BM has taken total control in calling the shots. Varies lawyer by lawyer but what he’s found so far in his lawyer search, most require you to pay half up front and then the rest can be worked out in a payment plan. The cheapest one he’s found where we live is $5000 total and that’ll cover all the court and filing fees as well as any mediation.
