How can I find a lawyer that will take my case pro bono, or will make sure my husband pays for my lawyer since it was his idea.

I believe I am being railroaded by my own lawyer. At the end of 2012, my husband of 18 years decided to leave me when I was sick, suffering from depression and unable to work. I had complications from thyroid removal and my Dr’s couldn’t get my meds right. I recently found out that my case had come up for trial 4 times in the past 3 years but my lawyer never consulted me or even let me know. He just gave no objection to their request for a continuance. My lawyer had told me from the beginning that my husband did not want to show financials under any circumstances. My lawyer has never discussed the different kinds of alimony with me and is saying I have to redo all paperwork now because it is outdated. He has never made me feel like he was working for me since he found out my husband and family were very wealthy. Now, all of a sudden my husband is ready to move forward and my lawyer is pressuring me with all kinds of threats to get paperwork completed when he refuses to ask for a continuance for us. I need a new lawyer but I am living on the small amount my husband gives me every month. I remain unable to work. I am 64 years old.

Since you have counsel I cannot provide you advice except to speak to your attorney about your concerns.
