My niece is going through a divorce and it's been so long since I went through mine. I'm seeking advice on how to find, if possible, free or low budget attorneys, and also how to look up any reviews on attorneys. When I went through my divorce, money wasn't a giant issue as I was working and making a decent wage so I could afford one. I went through word of mouth when I finally picked my attorney. I was in a small city. She is in a much bigger city, and money is a factor because she is a SAHM.

Go to your local Bar Association for a referral.
Also she can hire an attorney and request the spouse pay the fees if there is unreasonable behavior and the STBX is looking to play games.
A mediator might be a cheaper option as well.

I found mine through a google maps search for local attorneys. I read the reviews and found a few who do free initial consultations. That's a good way to meet them face to face (or by phone), find out their rates, and see if she likes them.

I honestly thought I was imagining everything."
For months, I noticed changes in my partner—secretive conversations, unexplained absences, and a sudden obsession with keeping his phone away from me. Whenever I asked questions, I was told I was being paranoid.
Eventually, I reached out to a cybersecurity professional who explained that there are legitimate digital-forensics and monitoring services that can help people understand what is happening when they have the proper authorization.
The specialist walked me through the process, explained the privacy rules, and helped me review information I was legally entitled to access. I finally had clarity instead of constantly questioning myself.
It wasn't about hacking someone. It was about getting answers through legitimate digital evidence.
If you're dealing with something similar, speak with a qualified cybersecurity or digital-forensics professional and make sure any investigation is lawful and consent-based. Kindly contact t.me/Stevenbmore on telegram or @stevenbmore on telegram
