Not to sound pessimistic (spelling???), but if he tore the one YOU did, most likely, he’ll tear up the one the lawyer does. He doesn’t have to sign an agreement at all.
I know it’s frustrating. A document or letter from a lawyer MAY make him more attentive, but I don’t know of any lawyer who would do that ProBono. Maybe someone else will have ideas.

Does anyone know of an attorney in the Raleigh area that may consider doing a separation agreement Pro Bono? My husband has abandoned me and our children has tore up the separtaion agreement I drafted on my own. So I see the only way to deal with him is through the legal process, but because of the financial strain I can not afford the cost associated with legal fees…Is there anyone who can give me some advice???
