Lawyer

No, this post is not me throwing jokes about lawyers, even though I love to. This blog is for any of you who are lawyers or have friends/family that are lawyers. I need some free advice I guess. I have a friend who after 4+ years is STILL being messed up by her husband. The divorice is final and a divorce degree has been made but she is still paying for everything. Utah has a law that it doesn't matter what a divorce degree states, if companies and business can't find one spouse (divorce or not) they can force the other spouse (divorce or not) to pay. He has taken her name and social security number and used them and she is now having to pay for all of the things he has done (AFTER the divorce). Her wages are being garnished and isn't allowed to get a new SS number. She is a single parent, barely making by. The justice system has really been screwing her over as well. She has paid $60,000+ in lawyer fees just for the divorce alone and can't afford more. Does anyone have law advice that can help her? Or know of someone who can talk to her and give advice? Please let me know. The stress of everything she is going through is actually making her physically sick and help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Yuck, I'm super super sorry for your friend! That sounds HORRIBLE!! I'm sad the only lawyers I know live out of state.
