Would I be able to retain a lawyer pro Bono I have had to reopen this case for the third time since 2008 on contempt of AMS he owes in excess of 400.0

Thank you for your question. I am not sure from your posting if he owes “in excess of 400" or “in excess of 400,000" in back alimony. That’s a rather large gap!  I am also not sure what “AMS” means as well. For purposes of this answer, I am going to assume it’s considerably more than $400.00.   For over 35 years, my office handles primarily large asset family law cases and this potentially sounds like such a case. However, you have a few serious challenges. To begin, he may be losing his business in the civil litigation as you describe the situation. This means that his ability to pay the back alimony may be heavily constrained if not largely eliminated.  You said you “have done well” in the litigation to date. If so, why should you change your counsel or your forensic accountants, if you have anyone in that role? If you are looking to discharge them (likely for cost reasons?), you will probably not find a lawyer with any skill or experience willing to take on such a complex case ‘pro bono’. If your ex has substantially hidden or, worse, lost assets in the course of his business troubles, your pro bono lawyer will be quickly frustrated in any effort to find the assets needed to pay back the alimony arrears.  My recommendation: Keep your team in place, particularly if you believe you have done well thus far.
