She can get an attorney. In most states you can either get the husband to pay fees and/or take marital funds to retain an attorney. Just because you're the spouse who doesn't work doesn't mean you have to rely on pro bono rep.

How do you approach collecting documents from a client in response to discovery requests? Particularly with broad and vague document requests that leave you guessing about what the other side is looking for, even after you meet and confer.
