Help Overcome Debt and Legal Fees for Divorce

Hello family and friends. As you all know, I will be going through a divorce and I’m seeking your help.

I have been in a domestic violence relationship for the past 12 years. As you can imagine, I have lived a nightmare and was mentally, emotionally, physically and financially abused by my spouse and his family. During all this time, I was also prohibited from seeing my family and friends so please forgive me for not coming around or having the courage to leave. I was very afraid to lose my life. I was held against my will, taken my keys away, door blocked from leaving my house. I was isolated, very lonely, and I was manipulated into thinking my family did not want me or cared about me.

Luckily, I was recently able to escape this awful situation, my family saved my life! However, the real tough work starts now. I’m drowning in substantial debt due to my husband’s gambling addiction and all of the loans he forced me take out and spend at the casinos. This is going to be a long, hard battle but I’m planning to fight it. However, I can’t afford an attorney and I'm drowning in bills. I can’t do it alone and need your help.

Please know that I have reached out to several non-profit organizations in DFW area but I don’t qualify for free legal assistance or other benefits. This is why I’m reaching out.

An attorney with domestic violence experience is charging me $7000 for a retainer fee, and if my husband fights it, I may have to pay this amount several times which could ultimately add up to 20k.
