Made some phone calls this morning and found out that I don't have to use the Hartford Superior Court to file my divorce...woohoo!! I can us the Tolland County Superior Court in Rockville, which is only 10 or 15 minutes NE of me. They have a law library, and a staff dedicated to helping pro se clients fill out all the forms, organize everything, and make sure you get every form you need. The court clerk I spoke with also told me that I should contact Legal Aid again and ask for a supervisor, because she believes I qualify even tho the volunteer I talked to the other day told me I didn't.
What a difference a few phone calls can make! She also told me that I can request a list of Pro Bono attorneys. In CT most attorneys are required to do a certain number of Pro Bono cases per yearWow...what a relief! I've been buried in doubt and intimidation all weekend after talking to my extremely unhelpful local court clerk, who treated me like I was chit on the bottom of her shoe.
^^^Woo Hoo!!!!^^^ Let's get it started indeed!!! That is the best news I've heard all day girl!! I do believe we will have one big online party in the Notcigs house when this is over for you Bov!
