I am 4 years into this.

Many court battles. All he does is lie. Judges all believe him.

Assbite started working for best friend making $100,000 plus but is claiming to make $2000. I have tried everything ( on my own as I am dead ass broke).

I decide that what I really need is an attorney to work "with" me not for me.

Meaning attorney to do paper work , I will file do all I can myself to save money.

I find a young lawyer that I go through everything, had dates, names. times, etc. I tell her that if she can not get the owners of the business to cough up his federally funded job paystubs that basically there is no going forward.

Sh says please leave your folder ( which I don't like leaving anywhere, it has EVERYTHING) and I will call you in a couple of days.

I waited a month, called her, was irritated and said when are you going to have the paperwork to serve his employers.

She says I thought I would supeona both him & them. I repeated that I had already gone that route and ex is VERY good at lying. I JUST want his employers served.

She starts talking about how the arrears report is not up to date...I said all I want right now is proof of his income, knowing the arrears at this point is not important, if I can't get TRUE income paperwork, the judge will say but he is making so little money as they have the last 4 times.

She says okay, I will have a letter to him ( she says he must be notified) and the request to his employers by next week.

I get laryngitis, can't talk, she call on the following Friday saying we need to set up am appointment to discuss the case.

The next day she sends billing that I owe her for reading my file & having copies made to the tune of $115.

I did not ask for her to do that. She says absolutely nothing about that paperwork that was supposed to have been done!

I an soooo freaking irriated. No money, no voice, some idiot lawyer that thinks she is going to milk it to death.

Why am I not being heard? I am sick of being screwed by everyone. This should have been an easy job but oh no...lets start doing all kinds of shit that the client does not want, need or afford!

FIRE IS COMING OUT MY NOSE at this point.

Wow is she the separated at birth twin of my nincompoop L?

DITCH her NOW! I know that's hard, but please don't do what I did and try to proceed with a L that doesn't listen and drags their butt.

My L did exactly the same things. D will be a year longer than it should have been.

No sage advice from me, just retained my first lawyer in life yesterday. Sorry you have had such a terrible time with STBX.

It has always seemed to me that the legal system is not about justice but about money. Guess that's why they call it the 'golden rule', he who has the money makes the rules.

Probably a bit cynical, sorry about that.

Hope you can either kick her ass into gear or get a better one.

Firing her works. Or, go in and TELL her I will not pay a cent until you subpoena the pay stubs like I asked. Talk to another lawyer?

It's a joke they can start billing before they do what was asked of them.
