Hello.  I am a 29 year old mother of a 6 month old daughter.  My husband and i are going through a divorce.  This divorce came out of the blue for me.  The reason i am seeking some help is this: while i was pregnant i continued to work overtime to help bring in a little extra money to pay the bills.  what i didn't know was that my husband had taken my credit card and racked up 12,000 dollars of debt on it, gambled away approximately 15,000 dollars, stopped paying the mortgage and other bills,  and took out a loan in my name, all without my knowing!!!  i only found out when our baby was 2 months old.  I ended up being forced back to work much earlier than planned to try to get us out of the financial mess he'd put us in.  i gave up so much to help us out and he repays me by wanting a divorce.  My credit score is the lowest a person can have and i did nothing to contribute to it getting that way!  i can't even afford a good lawyer and i 'm so afraid i'll get stuck with all the debt while he gets off "scot free".  i just need about 500 dollars for an attorney.  i want to be able to provide for my daughter after this hell is over.  i'm so stupid for letting him take advantage of me like this, but i did get one good thing... my beautiful daughter.  thank you for your time.
