I was told by an attorney to put cash in the bank that is in the house & don't touch it. Can I use some of that my to pay attorney fees?

Unless there is a cout order restricting a spouse's use of assets, you are free to spend your money, especially on attorney's fees.  The only general restriction on parties is that they not waste or dissipate assets.  For example, gambling away a marital asset would clearly be prohoibited.  But spending money on household expenses, attorney's fees, and similar matters is perfectly acceptable. I trust this answers your question but, if you live in the Delaware Valley,  feel free to call or e-mail on a free initial basis.
