check with your local court house if they have any numbers of groups that can help people in your situation also can try any law schools close by to see if they have any programs

Hard to do without an attorney. If this is an equitable seperation, you could file for dissolution (both parties agreeing in all terms). Many states allow this but having a child may make it impossible to reach agreement. i had a dissolution in Florida and got the papers from Domestic Relations court, signed and filed them ($65 fee) and it was over in less than 2 weeks. Some States do not allow this in the case of a minor child being involved.

I live in Tennessee and consulted with a lawyer about getting a divorce. I paid him $50.00 for the consultation. He wanted a $2500.00 retainer fee. His advice to me was for me to separate from my wife. I couldn't afford it. I checked with another lawyer and was given the same advice. My wife and I decided to work things out because we couldn't afford for each of us to have a separate house. It was a difficult decision, but our financial situation came before our need to get away from each other.
