"No fault" divorces can be "simple." Add a child into the mix and we are talking a different story. You need to be informed of what is happening in the process, otherwise you may be forced into child support that you can't afford. Have you ever heard of a "deadbeat dad?" Even if you walk away, this could follow you forever - if you don't pay court ordered support, you at least lose tax refunds, and potentially could face jail time (do I hear "federal pound me in the ass prison").
It is a bad situation, obviously. You need to find out what is going on from the courts, and almost definitely need an attorney. If you make too much for legal aid, bite the bullet and pay an attorney to represent you. You may be able to "control" the hours spent on the case by assisting with the process, but you can't walk in blind or you will end up paying for this for many years (literally and figuratively.)
