I think you can call attorneys not associated with him and find one who will make your husband pay your legal fees. You can also check with your state and get a court order for him to provide half of his earnings now. I’m sorry you have to go through this my situation is awful - I can’t imagine divorcing a lawyer it must be even more exhausting.
Because you weren’t working and he abandoned you - I think he owes you. I hope you get everything you can and bring him to justice!
Document every single piece of paper in your house. Personal and corporate docs. Every bank account. Children’s stuff. Like things you think you’ll never need. You will need them.
Make a daily log of interactions between the two of you. Record (if you can safely) anything said between the two of you whether personal or corporate.
Make an escape plan.
Hide cash outside of the home.
Hire independent attorney. Hire someone not in your community if need be. I went to an entirely different city for mine.
Get out.
If any physical violence get an EPO.
Start to see a therapist who can help you.
I filed the divorce papers in our family city so when we go to court he has to face the embarrassment of explaining to his peers his actions. Judges dont like it when lawyers in their community **** up. Best thing ever.
