I have been seperated from my husband for almost 4 yrs and am unable to find an attorney to take my case that I can afford. I have pursued child support enforcement through the state of Fl but when my spouse found out he left his job of 18yrs because the state is taking so long to get him. He thinks he will get out of paying. I desperately need help but because I have a decent job making decent money I do not qualify for any state or gov. assistance nor do I belong to any church or social group that is willing to come to my aide in my time of need. My only option is an attorney that is going to go after this deadbeat like a bulldog. Yet as hard as I have searched I can not find one even the state wants a $600 up frt retainer I just cant fit that into my budget as it's hard enough to fit groceries. I am not looking for a hand out or a pity party just an honest ligitamate attorney that will waive the retainer and make the husband pay in all avenues available.

Heck with the bills get the attorney, then hit him with 4 years of back support, include in the case that he has to pay your lawyer fees for running out.

I dont know but can tell you that it cost me $2500 up front for a non contested divorce 6 yrs ago so $600 is not much. You can represent yourself. Go to the court and talk to someone they will tell you everything you need to do. Of course I have to add that I dont know you or the father so I have no idea who is right and who is wrong.
