    My question involves divorce in the State of: California/Kansas.

    I fled to KS due to domestic violence, my soon to be ex has filed for divorce in CA. I cannot receive free legal help in either state, as I don't meet residency requirements in KS or CA. He's threatening me to sign a Marital Separation Agreement that was emailed to me, and I can't begin to understand the document, and I've not yet received the divorce papers, which I had sent to a relative. I don't know how the process works, what to make of the agreement his lawyer sent me, how to proceed while in hiding, or how to keep my health benefits until I give birth, as I'm currently pregnant. I've no money of my own, and I get very little in terms of support. If someone can offer advice or assistance, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
    You seriously need an attorney to assist BEFORE you sign ANYTHING. Contact your local domestic violence program - they may have pro-bono legal services available if referred through a case manager (some also have their own attorneys on staff or available through their own in-house programs, meaning that you wouldn't have to meet residency requirements usually associated with programs open to the general public).
