More details to this question:
My parents paid my lawyer and she put a retainer fee on hers, but since we made payments to our lawyer and she never paid her lawyer anything. I now have to pay her attorney $5000. She has a job. I can't get a job. She has the only vehicle. I have nothing but my clothes. They took my retainer fee away from my lawyer to give to hers. Now I can't afford an attorney.

And how much was your attorney paid? If your family is financing your case and has given your attorneys more than $5000, they you have established that you have the ability to pay more.
