Divorce/child Custody

Location: VA (USA)

This post is on behalf of my friend. I apologize in advance for the long story.

She lives in NOVA and husband in Richmond. She’s been separated for more than a year due to infidelity on husbands part (she’s got proof through pics, text etc). The kids have been living with her and husband comes to see the kids once a month. Prior to filing, she asked her husband for mediation, they bought two home while married in both their names, she just wants them to sell the homes etc with a court assigned mediator. Husband declined that he won’t share any of the properties with her.

She filed for divorce on her own and husband responded through a law firm demanding Full custody of children, spousal support from her(he makes waaaaayyy more money than her), legal fees, he claims abandonment that she left the house without telling which isn’t true cos she has proof and videos of him coming to see his kids in her new place.

My friend consulted with attorneys but she can’t afford them (the lowest was $5K retainer).

What is the probability she could win this on her own? She’s got a ton of evidence, she hasn’t worked for over 12 years being a Stay at home mom, she just finished a PhD and got her first job in NOVA. We have no idea if the husband is lying to his lawyers, or is a law tactic to throw everything at the partner to deter her or see what sticks?

Please any advice is appreciated and sorry for the long message.
