you can apply to the court for payment of attorneys fees but you will most likely need to pay the retainer to the lawyer that represents you. the most difficult part of a divorce is getting the parties to agree on division of assets and visitation with children. If there are no children, your divorce can be simplified if you and your spouse can agree on how your assets will be divided.
