I need advice for a friend
You guys give out better advice than the SO board so that's why I am here.
To cut to the nitty gritty, a friend of mine (P) just found out her H has filed for divorce. They have been married 9 years, she does not have a job but is going to school FT to get her masters. They own a home together (that they are upside down on). According to the lawyer, he is only going have to pay P $400 a month, forcing her to go down to PT at school and get a job, not to mention get rid of all of her pets. Since she is not working, she can't afford a lawyer. What rights does she have? What can she do?
She's the type of person to roll over and let this stuff happen without fighting, so I am trying to come up with ways to help her help herself and not get completely screwed.
Re: I need advice for a friend
Thanks, that's what I have been drilling into her. Her main focus is to get through school right now and deal with the divorce and whatever sh!t she's handed later. Apparently her H pulled all of his 401k out to get this lawyer, so I'm assuming there's not a lot in their accounts. I'll suggest the credit card.
She will be staying with me while MH is oot for a couple for a couple of weeks so I'll try to get through to her how important it is.
