Why Is It So Hard to Get Help With a Divorce Appeal?
Question by AJS: Why is it so hard to get help with a divorce appeal?
Ex husband used our marital assets to get a ruthless lawyer while my lawyer did not even have a pen and paper when he came to trial. I have tried to get help for an appeal to the judge’s dissission but no other attorney will touch the case unless I come up with a $ 15,000.00 retainer. I do not have that kind of money.
Please I need help here and do not know where else to turn.

It seems like the grounds you want to assert are “ineffective assistance of counsel.” Many lawyers are uncomfortable asserting that another lawyer didn’t do a good job. Plus appeals in divorce cases rarely are successful but they are a lot of work. It sounds like the lawyers you contacted want to make sure that they will be paid. You are probably best off just moving on.
