I've not found a lot of information about divorce for autists and there don't seem to be many legal professionals who specialise in it.
There is some advice on this site:
https://neurolaunch.com/high-functioning-autism-and-divorce/
I note that is has been reported that the site is AI generated so use the advice with caution, but I've not come across any other reasonable sources of info.
I do think a lawyer or solicitor who specialises in divorce is going to be very important. They should be able to look at the finances and make a reasonable guess on whether they can claim enough to cover the costs from this but you may have to find some money to pay for that initial consultation.
If your partner has their own solicitor/lawyer and you don't then they can easily try to take eveything, hence my advice.
To make sure I comply with the site rules here, my advice is to get specialised legal advice.
that's great. thank you very much.
Dear pintsizepirate,
Well done for reaching out to the online community, it sounds like you are going through quite a difficult time. I hope things get easier soon.
It may be worth taking a look at the Autism Services Directory you can search for legal help that may be available in your area.
Warmest wishes,
Olivia Mod
