My question involves a marriage in the state of: Texas
So I am in a pretty bad situation with my divorce. I had an attorney that was supposedly "very good". He came in and filed a protective order, filed all sorts of objections to discovery responses and ran up his bill to over $30k in no time, even though I told him the max I could afford on my case was $8k. I had to let him go about a month ago just because there was no more money, period. I make decent money, but after our first court date, the attorney folded to everything and my expenses with the mortgage, car payments and insurance for me and stbx, attorney bills for both my attorney and hers, and other bills, my total monthly court ordered expenses are way over 100% of my income. I am late on pretty much everything.
2 weeks ago, her attorney went to the judge and got several things signed. One includes a motion to compel to sell the marital house. I am fine with that and in fact I have been pushing for this for several months. The stbx and I couldn't agree because I wanted to use a neutral realtor and she wanted to use her best friend. He also got an order for me to pay him $1000 by this Friday. The problem with that is that I just don't have it. If I pay that, I have to miss paying child support or alimony or her car payment or some other court ordered payment.
I don't have an attorney and cannot afford one. I can't even afford gas money to drive up to the court right now. I have begged and borrowed from family all I can and that is tapped out as well.
Is there anything I can do, or am I going to be paying a visit to the county jail soon? It will be pretty bad if I do as I work in administration for law enforcement and will loose my job if that happens, therefore making it even more difficult to pay.
