[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 561834, member: 13882"] That stinks. We just paid for an atty for our difficult child, for a minor thing, and it cost us about $2100 for almost no effort on the atty's part. But our difficult child is legally an adult, so it was really our choice whether to pay for it or leave him high and dry. Depending on what an atty would cost you, I might consider not subbing and qualifying for assistance. As far as the bills, you may be able to call the companies you must pay late and negotiate some kind of payment plan in advance to give you some kind of breathing room. In our case, we had some savings bonds that difficult child got for baptism, confirmation, etc., and we used some of the oldest bonds to defray the attorney's cost. We told difficult child that we had been holding them for his "future" and this was a sad way to pay for his "future." Infuriating. [/QUOTE]
