• Can my ex sue me over things he has paid for over the course of relationship?

  Asked in McKinney, TX

  We met four years ago, and quickly became a couple. Over time, it became abusive and messy and toxic, which is the reason why I ended our relationship this last month. Unfortunately, we have one month left on our shared apartment lease and are living that out as well we can. As far as I am aware, I am not responsible for a lot for his debts regarding his credit cards, his car, or the loss of savings during the relationship. His abuses have escalated to threatening me with court whenever I disagree. I am responsible for a lot of what he's asking for. While I am more than willing to pay shared household bills, I have missed over the last four months due to job issues and move-out costs, he seems to think I owe him more, and he is actively pressuring and scaring me into paying more than I am responsible for. Can he take me to court?

• I have filed a substantial post-judgment motion to reconsider my contested divorce. Is there any hope to acquire an attorney?

  Asked in Galesburg, IL

  My lawyer withdrew 35 days prior to trial, I received my complete file 21 days prior to my final trial and 2 days after I filed pro se and for a motion for continuance. I did not know to put it on the docket, and it was denied on the spot at the final trial. I then represented myself at the final trial and was not prepared. I only received the significant financials 25 hours prior to final trial. There were no settlement discussions or proposals prior to trial. There were significant discrepancies between the judgment, the docket, and the judicial entry for that date. So I ordered the transcripts. I received the transcripts on the 30th day and filed my motion that night, with notice that the exhibits are to follow as I go over the transcript. The hearing is set. Significant financial issues, omitted assets, altered earnings, etc. I am desperately in need of legal help. I have no money for large retainers at this moment, but I don't expect anyone to work for free -- is there any way around this?
