What happens when you run out of money for legal counsel during divorce proceedings?

Your best bet is to contact you local Bar Association for a lawyer that works with low-income persons or they may have names of lawyers that are willing to waive the retainer and be paid at a later date. If you have been without work, or are a mother with children and have no money you can phone "legal aid" (it's in your phone book and if you can't find it ask the operator and they'll give you the number.)
If you go into most book shops you can find a book on "How to get a Divorce" that will give you guidelines to let you know what to do. You can actually file to the courts for a divorce and bypass the lawyer. If there are children, a lot of property or a business involved it's best to go straight to a lawyer.
Also, some lawyers will give you anywhere from 1/2 hour to a full hour of free legal advice. Ask your friends or family if they know of anyone.

∙ 17y agoIn some states a petitioner can request the court to appoint a mediator to attempt to resolve the matters of contention. Other than that the person contesting the action can try legal aid associations or women's or men's legal help centers and so forth. Unfortunately most such organizations are underfunded and have large case loads, making any legal assistance that is not an emergency very difficult to obtain.
