Does Maine recognize Permanent separation vs legal seoaration
I am speaking in the behalf of my daughter, the only way she would be able to
afford a lawyer is if the lawyer would accept to be ProBono. She makes only 15.00
per hour and she is the only one that pays for bills regarding the house, car,
insurance and food when she has extraa, she works 50 hours a week just to be able
to cover that barely. She has one child with her husband and she is looking for
help in either representation or advice. If divorce cannot be done then she is
looking for a permanent separation from her husband which would benefit her then
she would not be responsible for any of his bills that he does not pay. Can you
please get back to me either by email cher.wehr1yahoo.com or phone at 508-455-
2070. She has lived in Maine for a year, Please help her get away from this
person.

Your daughter can contact her state's/county's bar association to see if they have a list of attorneys who will take her case "pro bono" (i.e. for free). If not, she can see if Legal Aid will represent her. She can also see if there is a law school nearby to where she lives, as many have legal clinics take these cases for free or at least for reduced rates based on a person's income/circumstances.
