I think a lot of people have a fear about the finances of a divorce. Most states take into consideration that one party will be the earning spouse and one party isn’t, or that there is a disparity in income. Most states want there be parity or an equal playing field, so when you say, “I don’t have any money to afford an attorney,” your ex will be paying for all or some of your attorney’s fees in order that both of you have a voice with the courts and have an opportunity to be well represented in whatever your financial and custodial settlement is.
