Divorce Support Forums: So where do I go from here?

Thanks, for your reply!
I am going to contact legal aid and other places in the morning.
here is part of my response to her!

Well, then please file the motion to strike your appearance now. Why do I have to be subject to the humiliation of you asking to do that at trial?

I will write a letter to the courts myself asking for a postponement or deferrment,

I just cannot come up with that much by then.

I've got to ask why now, 2 1/2 wks before the hearing, you are asking for this.

If you had asked me back at our last hearing in March or even during our phone conversations, because that would have given me more time to get the money for you.

Is there no way you can wait til the hearing date, we've documented the fact that Mr. #### dissipated marital funds and we will get a judgement that day! And can't you ask the court to have Mr. #### issue you a check that day?

You told me that some of the money was in Ms. ####### account!

And per our phone conversation the week before, I told you I could come up with $### and you agreed to that! You didn't say otherwise.

My honest question to you now is that after months of requesting for the status of your services provided to date and total cost of attorney fees owed, you not once responded to my inquiries with the requested information. I have requested from you on at least nine occasions in the past 12 months for the financial commitment I have to you and to date I have received only one statement, your E-Mail from April 2007.

I have all the emails between you and I since you became my attorney and I can show you where I've requested the status of my account.

You knew from the beginning that I was relying on the settlement to make/present full payment to you and you knowingly (and willingly) took me on as a client.

Furthermore, prior to the last scheduledcourt appearance (Feb 22.) you requested for a payment of no less then $###, to which I provided to you on or about February 20, 2008. Since then, the services you've been required to provide to me have been minimal and I cannot fathom why you are now requesting for no less then the amount of $#### prior to the upcoming court hearing.

And also, I don't understand where you come up with close to 100 hrs working on my case when I did alot of the running around to file the motions, had everyone served, wrote up the subpeonas and put all the paperwork contained in my file kept by you in a wicker basket! I put them in chronological order and separated into binders and made table of contents with cross references and all you did was pay for the copying expenses.

I also asked you about filing the motion to stop Mr. #### from dissipating the assests the first time I found out he took equity out of our home in Feb 2007 and you did nothing until Nov 2007, after he foreclosed on the property!

Had you done this promptly, we may have been able to secure some of the funds he took out and I had even asked you about asking the courts to freeze his accounts!

Which you gave me no reply.

What do ya think?!!!

I'll let you know what I get in response, if you're interested!
