How to get advise quickly without it costing an arm and leg, Regarding property settlement and child arrangements

They want information asap and I have no idea what to do or how to go about it so that i get what im entitled to or not entitled to

My ex husband has literally all the financial power and had all financial control in the relationship- i left with basically the car and just a fridge and washing machine thats it. but the car is in his name and he wont sign it over and he knows full well that i cant afford to register it soon as hes left me with absolutely nothing and what i do get goes on bills and kids- no breathing room for anything else

Can someone offer some advice or point me in the right direction please

Hi, you need to apply for a property and care order with the federal circuit court. You can begin this at any point but just know you can't apply for a divorce for 12 months from separation.
The sooner you apply and get orders the better as he can beat you to it and apply for ex-parte orders meaning no notice orders. You can also apply for financial orders in the sense of spousal maintenance which is like child support but to also assist you.
