Jim's Reply:

You need a divorce lawyer. Nobody else will be able to provide the serious legal help you're asking for.

PS from StatesideLegal: Use the "Find Legal Help" directory to look for LSC providers (free legal aid providers) in your community who might be able to help or who will hopefully refer you to other resources.
