What happens if an accused person is too poor to afford a lawyer?

If you don't qualify for free assistance but can't bear the full expense of a private lawyer, a court-appointed attorney might be able to support you.

Hope this helps, have a great day!

this is a pretty broad question and can be a pretty lengthy answer. since 1900, women have gained a lot more rights and have become active in the workforce. with women being in the workforce, men play a larger role in family life. many family tasks are shared between men and women, whereas, women used to be the sole family caretakers.

that should get you started at least.
