We split our savings and now she is running out of money for her lawyer. What now?

[Tim Pat 23321]

I'm in the beginning months of a Florida divorce which will probably take the rest of 2012 to complete. My spouse and I split up our savings when we knew divorce was inevitable. Now that my spouse has paid her very high priced attorney very large sums of money, she is down to less than 1/4 of her original amount already. (I still have 3/4 of my half of the savings.) My question is, when she runs out of money (which will be soon) will they be able to make me write her a check with my half to pay her attorney fees? I do earn more than her. If her side can force me to give her more money, what should I do? Should I hurry and spend more of my half with my attorney? Or is my half safe and sound and she'll just have to finish the divorce without representation?

That is a tough question without knowing more about the situation.
