No, but I was fortunate.  I’m quite sure my ex (who is an attorney) was hoping I could not find someone to represent me.  Attorneys, as a general rule, do not like to go against another attorney.

The first lawyer I met with was a female and bowed out after speaking with my then husband over the phone.  He went on for a 20 minute tirade, in which she took copious notes.  When she hung up, she looked at me and said, “He is going to make this a nasty divorce that will cost you tens of thousands of dollars.”   She did however give me a good referral.  My new attorney stayed by my side even when I could not pay him.
