Good Day

I am currently going through a divorce, I need to know how can I obtain a legal representative if I am currently receiving a maintenance that does is not enough but above the minimum amount required to obtain legal aid. My husband wants me to pay for all my legal costs & I had to find a job now two months which is contributing to our montly expenses because the maintenance is not sufficient. I have not worked for most of the years of marriage & I was forced to find work now which is not easy on my kids not having me at home. The job I have is not permanent & I cannot take on any financial responsibilities.

Please advice me on the different options I am entitled to.

Thanks
Shalin
