Your husband has not filed for an uncontested divorce. That is a case with a settlement signed by both parties. You are in a contested divorce. While it is an expense to hire counsel, it can be far more costly to lose a case because you did not. Do not transfer assets during a divorce without legal advice. It likely violates the standing order and you could be found in contempt (and even jailed).
