I have edited it all together after reading questions I dont know how to
put in quotes! sorry I cant type as fast as your asking questions
Im sorry this got to be so much longer than I ever thought it would, but
I guess I needed to tell you much more, not making excuses it was just
my life I did the best I could!
I have a hard time asking for help from even a friend let alone from a
stranger. Although I haven't participated on here very much, (joined 16
years ago) I do know there are good people on here willing to help
somebody like me, so here goes. I’ll try my best to keep this short. My
wife (33 years together) and I celebrated our 30th anniversary with a
trip to the coast, spent 4 days there and I thought we were having a
good time, but oh how I was fooled by her. She left me Sept.12th 2018,
barely a month after that trip.
I was blindsided to say the least. I left for a 9 day archery hunt with
no clue what she was planning. We said our normal goodbyes and I came
home to an empty house. She left a phone message that said “she didn't
do it to hurt me, she couldn't stay, and that I should take care of
myself, goodbye!
I heard later she had been planning to leave for over a year. That was 2
1/2 years ago. She was served May 4th 2019, Covid19 put things in
limbo, she must be doing well as she changed lawyers and now has a high
dollar one.
I am a low income person, I made $18,000.00 last year and that was a
good year. A friend found an organization that is for people like me
(low income) talked with a lawyer I liked and then was assigned a
different lawyer which I didn't like but felt I was in no position to
complain. let’s just say she (the lawyer) wasn't on my side. She pretty
much said it was my fault that my wife left me after talking to her
(wife) lawyer. There were missed big opportunities to have the divorce
go in my favor. I confronted my lawyer about her not “representing me”
and two weeks later I get a notice in the mail I no longer have a
lawyer.
So, that's my story and I am asking for help. Does anybody know somebody
or an organization that might be able to help me lawyer up. I am very
grateful for any help.
I live in Gresham (Multnomah County).
