You should absolutely consult an attorney. Many lawyers take credit card deposits. You may also qualify for a lawyer through groups like inMotion or New York Legal Assistance Group. If you cannot or will not get involved in your case, he will get the divorce on his terms. Try also calling his lawyer (the lawyer's name should be on the papers). Tell his lawyer what you are asking for and that you object - and follow up with a written letter to the lawyer and the Court.
Good luck.
