is there a lawyer who will give ad-
vice free? Hoping to have an an
Swer soon, Z. >.
Judging from your letter you Or the one
on whose behalf you write sesm TO be
in real trouble, and as 1t is my pleasure
AZ we'll as my business to relieve tho
distresses of my fellow creatures / will
gladly help you to the best Of my ability.
although to answer all your questions
fully would require not only the learning
of a divorce specialist, but, besides,
would take up more space han can be
allotted to you without doing injustice
to other readers whose letters Of inquiry
are awaiting nswer You viii have to
secure the services of a lawyer before
you can apply to the cOdrts for n separa
ton or divorce, so why not consult one
now, lay you whole case before him and
ask his advice, and, # need be, mis- as
s~istance? 1t Is against the rules of this
paper to recommend any attorney by
name, but there are plenty of good and
honorable ones here In Newark who will
listen to you patiently, advise you cor
rectly and treat You Justly In every way.
Inquire among your friends or ask your
employers for the name of a good lawyer.
You need not tell them why you require
the assistance of a lawyer. That is your
business, not theirs.
Now as to your questions: l. Yes. If
a man secures the annulment of his mar
rage he is free to marry again. 2. No;
his age is immaterial, out If he Is under
81 years Of age the suit would have to
be brought on his behalf by a guardian.
8. If a divorce is granted in New Jersey,
after personal service of the papers upon
the wife within this State, he can go to
another State and marry. 4. Yes; / think
the young man could get a divorce II he
has legal grounds for 1t and can estab-
lish them by proper evidence. s. He should
go about 1t by consulting and employing
a lawyer to bring the suit. 6. ] do not
know what 1t will cost. The lawyer will
tell you about that. Asking what a suit
will cost is like asking a builder what 1t
will cost to build a house. His reply
naturally would be that 1t depends very
much upon the size and style OF the
house, materials to be used, etc. Some
divorces are obtained quite easily; others
are harder, and therefore more expen-
sive. Z. You and the lawyer can doubt
less make some mutually satisfactory ar
rangement as to the time when his fees
are to be paid. s. The wife does not sign
any papers when the husband sues her
for divorce. 8. No; she does not have to
agree to the divorce, and If 1t can be
shown that you and she have connived at
the divorce or that she has committed
with your consent the offense charged
against her 1t will defeat your suit. 10.
There are some good lawyers, as there are
some physicians, whv will occasionally
help a needy person with free advice, but
IL I knew one and were at liberty to give
his name he would hardly thank me for
the advertisement, as he would likely be
kept very busy for some time afterward
in listening to and advising his new
clients. You had better take a few dol
lars with you II you can, for cheap things,
you know, are generally poor. Well, now,
have I said enough7 I hope that my re-
marks will be of real assistance to you
and that you will be able to see and fol-
low the course that is proper and right
and for your ultimate and true happiness.
