I've been served the papers for our divorce. My husband and I agreed we needed this, and that I couldn't afford to file for the divorce, so he did it. Once I got the papers I read that he is filling for sole custody.
My main question is what happens, step by step? He has a lawyer - (I wasn't working - stayed home to take care of autistic child, and now he has cleared bank account and gets his work checks deliverd to him - so i'm without any money for a lawyer). SO I've been served, but I don't know how to respond. I called the courthouse and they told me that i needed to go to the library and find out what to do. What?!?! They were no help. I've seen lawyers who know just what to do, but they won't tell me how to do it on my own. Anyone know how to contest something like this? Or where i can get help/started???
