Grrrrrrr... I need a lawyer

The father of my youngest son is being such a jerk. He wants to drag this out in court, I can just feel it in my bones. He's doing things he shouldn't.. like NOT claiming the pick-up truck that was bought during the marriage as a marital asset. He wants everything that's in his name only to go to him.. the vehicles are in HIS name because he didn't put me on the registration or title of either vehicle though we were married when they were bought.

He wants me to have to pay for all the bills that were in my name only.. like PSE and Comcast, though they were incurred during the marriage.. before he moved out. I'm fine with being responsible for the stuff that I've incurred after he left, but why the hell should I have to take up his slack????? HE'S the one who wanted to be in charge of paying the bills... he took the checkbook away from me back when we still lived in out first apartment in Anacortes. He got pissed because he had a credit card bill that I didn't pay... but that was because there wasn't enough money in the account to cover that payment.

He only tolerated my family because they paid for things for me or the kids... that way he didn't have to. But when Kimmi died and we moved back to WA, he became more of a jerk to me.

Now my mom has been diagnosed with MS and has stopped working. Things had gotten so bad for her that she couldn't work and was forced to retire early.

I'm suck in this kind of warped limbo... I need to find a lawyer. Someone who knows family law well enough to stick it to the jerk who promised to love, honor, and cherish me  in sickness and in health ... until things got tough. He went into this marriage knowing I had MS, knowing I already had two kids... this is just bullshit.
