I have been thus far representing myself in a no-fault divorce filed by my wife. She hired a discount attorney that has really put the case on the back burner. The court has ordered mediation unless we come to an agreement.
My problem: I am virtually penniless. The only real asset I have is an old truck given to me by my wife's brother a number of years ago. I am unemployed, and there is no way I will be able to afford mediation fees. She is trying to bleed me for all i am worth, threatening spousal Maintenance (alimony). She is on SS disability, and has a regular income, whereas I do not.
We really do not have anything to fight over. We have no kids, no assets, no savings, no retirement, no house... nothing but an old truck worth about $1000 which was a gift to me.
She is being ridiculous with some of the things she wants, and is going to end up forcing this into mediation. Is there a form I can file that will reduce or eliminate mediation fees? It seems like someone said that there was.
help! any other advice is also welcomed.
