Dear Quiltingfriend:
Greetings. No, the court will not appoint an attorney in a divorce case. It is only “criminal” matters that attorneys are appointed in. The state does not offer any resources for people who cannot afford an attorney in North Carolina. You can check with legal services, but they do not normally handle domestic matters.
Now, the only other thing I can tell you, is that some people fund their initial reputation with credit cards. Although this is not a great way to fund your legal fees, this is a crisis and may be your only resort. Best of luck…and sorry to hear about your disability.
