How can I get legal representation for a divorce?
During the divorce I refinanced the house under a VA home loan. She is also my payee and I am still paying. She wants to file a quick claim deed and take it. Can she do this and, if so, do I have any say on the selling price? Her lawyer says thatI defaulted because I didn’t file something after the summons/ I’m lost and scared.

You can file for a divorce yourself. In fact, each state typically has an on-line site that contains the information for doing this. That having been said, you should try to obtain legal representation. Since money is an issue for you, see if Legal Aid can assist. If not, check if there is a law school in your area s many run legal clinics that take clients for free or for reduced fees. Finally, see if your local county/state bar association has a list of attorneys who will represent clients "pro bono" (i.e. for free) based on their income/circumstances.
