Actually, our case was quite the opposite. HE was the one being abusive. He was arrested for criminal damage and domestic violence towards me, but never our son. Our son was ALWAYS present during the occassions. I filed for sole custody and my attorney, at the beginning was full fledged supportive, then about 2 weeks before our court date started telling me things of how he didn't think that I'd win, etc. We have about 60/40 custody, me being the majority and I am our son's primary residence. My attorney has had my address since the start, my ex was the one who moved and I have stayed in the same apartment since the case was filed. I had just paid him what I thought was my final balance a week and a half prior to him claiming I owed him over a grand more. Since I had made that payment, no other services were given to me by my attorney. Isn't it a requirement by the Bar that the person being represented has a printed copy of all charges that the attorney is trying to collect payment on? If I really do owe him money, I have no problem paying him. However, since I had just given him over 800 dollars the week before on a statement that said "FINAL BILL" and all services up to the decree being filed were listed, I feel that this was a wrongful claim on HIS part, not mine. Throughout my case he made several references to being an "attractive female" and comments about a restaurant I had worked in for only about 2 months. I was serving food, not stripping for hundreds of dollars. Nonetheless, he made me feel uncomfortable, unconfident in my case, and cornered when I should have felt supported by someone I was paying a lot of money that I work hard to make to support myself and my son.
