Divorce Support Forums: Spousal Support

Take 2: I too am having problems looking for a lawyer - pro bono or some arrangements but no immediate cash retainer upfront.
My issue: In March 2007, the court 'erroneously' set my montly income at $7,500 instead $7,900 yearly (IRS, SSA EARNINGS, PAY STUBS to support income. The court ordered $4300/mo cs support!??? At the start of my divorce proceedings, all legal custodianship were placed under my spouse. All assets have been repossesed/ foreclosed. I am unemployed - disabled since 2005 but recieving private pension/annuity of $800-SSa DED still pending for more than a year. My ex earns appx $3,000/month - mismanaged and lost all our properties literally. 14 months later I found my document to support my position- court errors. - Fed Tax returns SSA earnings statement which reflects my income much lower during the said divorce litigation period - only a fraction. Unrepresented I filed a motion to set aside based on the tax returns. DENIED, due to an earlier motion for reconsideration was denied. However, judge mentions i can file anew a motion for modification.
The divorce is set for 'bifurcated status' next month. and motion for modification much later. Quest: is there a statute of limitation to condone arrears past due and current cs support based on a modification of income from $7,500/month ($90,000 per annum) vs. $800/month ($9,000 per annum) What other remedies can i have? Spousal support to my favor? atty. fees(spouses's) etc. thanks.

Do you want to file a motion for spousal support? yes , now covered under the case /issue in chief- motion for modification.
all asseys lost -- An equal division of assets?

Not anymore since December this year. Are there children involved? "legal custodianship". as mentioned above this is temporary but neverthess , a thing of the past, she failed to pay obligations.
