Same goes in California. BTW, Brew, you don't have to have the money
up front. If either your wife or you have any assets, you can
probably get a lawyer without money up front. If you don't have
assets, who cares what your wife does in divorce.

It is possible, however, that you are not being screwed at all ... that is,
no more than you would have been if you had had proper representation in

I don't know really how Brew is being screwed at all. Any judge will
consult with both parties to see if they agree on everything, and you
can point out at that time the one lawyer problem, not to mention
these days in california everything is done with a computer program
called the "dissomaster" which is pretty cut and dry. Now, I'm not
saying you won't still feel screwed. The laws in California are
really draconian against men unless you can get your wife to agree for
less.
What the hell were you doing thinking you could have a successful
marriage in california anyways?
