I'm a veteran. I served from Feb 1981-84. I'm in the middle of a divorce and can not afford a lawyer. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

First, thank you for your service. There are options available to persons who cannot afford a private attorney, including Legal Services of New Jersey.  You may call the local office in the county where you live to inquire whether or not you will be able to obtain their services. The below websites may also be informative. https://www.lsnj.org/GetLegalHelp.aspx?Span=ObtengaAyudaJuridica.aspx&Eng=GetLegalHelp.aspx https://www.lsnj.org/LegalServicesOffices.aspx Another option is to call the family court in the county where your case is being adjudicated to request a telephone number for the local lawyer referral service. Another option is to contact the Bar Association in the county where your case is being adjudicated to inquire whether or not the Bar Association can refer you to an attorney who would be willing to represent you at a low or now cost basis. Another option is to retain an attorney on a limited basis for the purpose of assisting you "behind the scenes," that is, to be available to answer your questions and assist you with drafting documents, but not to negotiate with the other party or to appear in court on your behalf. Given the issues at stake, you may consider borrowing the funds to retain an attorney to represent you. The attorneys at Weinberger Law Group offer a free one-hour initial consultation.  We are available to speak with you about your concerns and other options that may be available to you.  Call today to schedule your initial consultation - (855) 548-1544.
