• I have paid 18K so far to my attorney and he claims the judge has not yet seen any motions he has brought forth

  Asked in Tinley Park, IL | May 26, 2026

  This has gone on since December and he says it requires more money to get my husband to stop controlling all the marital funds and stalking me. How much more should I pay to have a motion seen by a judge? Is this normal?

• What are the best resources for a pro-bono divorce attorney in IL?

  Asked in Chicago, IL | May 28, 2026

  I have suffered years of financial and marital infidelity. There are no funds for an attorney right now and I'm aware I can just file myself. However, it is a layered situation that I think I need to make sure I am protected in the divorce and want to consult an attorney. I'm looking for a reputable attorney that has a budget set aside for pro-bono cases like this. I have many ducks in a row with a list of categories that need to be covered. I have already reached out to my husband via email with some back and forth on details we need to agree on. I just need someone to look things over, tell me what I may be missing for mine and my children's protection financially and with future decision making, ect. Along with help on how to file and what paperwork to use to best suit my needs. I'm finally ready to take this step and part of it is because recently there has been more financial infidelity and I think it's best to separate from this person legally. I need some pro-bono advice from someone that knows what they are doing in IL. Thanks
