Dear Isabel:
Greetings. Please note that I do not know of any “cheap” lawyers … since we all went to law school and have to pay the bills for the same … there are no “discount law schools.”
What you want to do is hire an attorney where you can control how much you pay - get an attorney with a fixed fee versus an attorney that bills you hourly.
Also, IMMEDIATELY go to the Child Support Enforcement Agency and sign up for child support. You can deal with the remaining issues (like alimony and property distribution) after you start to get support from him - which they will take directly from his paycheck or his pocket, as the case may be. Best of luck.
