RESPONDENT'S EARNINGS AND FROM HER HALF OF THE COMMUNITY PROPERTY BROKERAGE
ACCOUNT.
I HAVE INCURRED $3,000 IN ATTORNEY'S FEES AND $435 IN COURT COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS MATTER. I FOUND IT NECESSARY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN ORDER TO PROPERLY
PROCESS THIS DIVORCE. RESPONDENT IS IN A SUPERIOR FINANCIAL POSITION THAN MYSELF.
RESPONDENT EARNS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS I EARN. RESPONDENT WILL INHERIT
$100,000 FROM HER FATHER'S ESTATE AS SOON AS PROBATE IS COMPLETED IN ABOUT 3 MONTHS. I
CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY MY OWN ATTORNEYS FEES OR COURT COSTS.
