Can you fire your divorce attorney?
Sure, you can fire your divorce lawyer. You can do it just about any time and for any reason whatsoever. The best way to discharge your lawyer is in writing, either by email or by letter. You simply need to state that the representation isn’t working out, and that the lawyer should withdraw from the case.
What if I can’t afford a divorce lawyer?
If your income is low and you do not own any significant assets, you may be able to qualify for Legal Aid, which would provide you with legal representation at no cost to you. However, if you do not qualify for Legal Aid, you will be responsible to pay your legal fees.
How can I pay for a divorce with no money?
You can take out a personal loan from your bank or credit union to pay for your divorce. Budget the minimum amount you need and apply for a loan that covers all your legal fees. If you’re in good standing with the bank or credit union, and you have a good credit score, you may get a low interest rate.
Who stays with the house in a divorce?
In the event of a family law separation, both parties are legally entitled to live in the family home. It does not matter whose name is on the ownership of the house. There is no presumption that the wife or the husband has to leave the house.
Can your husband throw you out of the house?
No! Legally, it’s her home, too—even if it’s only his name on the mortgage, deed, or lease. It doesn’t matter whether you rent or own, your spouse can’t just kick you out of the marital residence. Of course, that doesn’t mean that, sometimes, for whatever reason, it’s not better to just go ahead and leave.
Who moves out during a divorce?
Moving out of the marital home may require permission from the other spouse to avoid the possible charge of abandonment, and communication with the spouse and a legal professional in this situation is key. The person that moves out may still have a right to the marital home during a divorce or even in separation.
Does it matter who moves out first in a divorce?
Under Divorce and Matrimonial Property Laws, it does not matter if one of you leaves the home or who leaves first, a person does not lose their rights to the property or to financial support by leaving. You can take the things that were exclusively yours before the marriage.
What happens if a spouse moves out?

Do I lose my rights if I leave my home?
Your entitlement to a share of the property will not be reduced simply because you no longer live in your home. Your share of the home will remain intact until a final property settlement is either agreed between you and your ex-partner or decided by a Court.
