If your income is low enough to qualify for Legal Aid or other free or low-cost legal services, one of these agencies may be able to file your divorce in NY. It depends on where you are filing and what types of cases the local agency accepts; not all of them handle divorces.

The related link below has links to legal aid agencies in NY, statewide and by county. The second link on the page ("Find Free Legal Assistance") takes you to a long list of legal services agencies that you can search by name or by location. Try some of the other links too; look for "legal aid" or "legal assistance" or "legal services" in the descriptions. Click the links to see the agencies' websites, which will tell you what kinds of cases they accept - and their income rules.

CourtReference has a page like this for every state.

Can you have a public defender represent you in a divorce in California?

Public defenders can't represent you in a divorce case in California or in any other state. Public defenders are appointed by the court to represent criminal defendants who are facing potential incarceration. Divorce is not a criminal matter. If you can't afford a private attorney, you may be able to get help from a legal aid agency. Legal aid attorneys handle civil cases, and divorce is considered a civil matter. However, many legal aid agencies do not handle divorce cases because they don't have sufficient staff and resources. Use the related link below to look for legal aid agencies in your county. When you find one, click the link to go to the agency's website and see if they handle divorce cases.

PLEASE consult a divorce attorney in your state or contact the Legal Aid Society (they offer free or low-cost legal services) to insure your rights are protected.If your husband did not notify you that he was seeking a divorce in Mexico (so that you could respond), then THAT divorce would be a "void" divorce and would NOT be legal in USA.["Void" divorces, where an ex parte divorce is obtained without notice, actual or constructive, to the absent defendant. Courts do not recognize or enforce this type of divorce]
