Divorce Support Forums: which atty should be doing the talking?

[quote]1. An attorney is only as good as their client.
2. Your attoney has many cases, you only have one. Save money and stay on top of it or mistakes will be made. Don't overstep.
3. Make a wish list for your lawyer of what you want.
4. Make a bottom line of what you would settle for to avoid a long expensive court battle. Tell your attorney if you trust him/her to fight and not just give it to her lawyer.
5. Best to make offers when you have some positive momentum on your side.
6. Try to get partial settlement signed asap. ie parenting plan, or CS, etc.
7. A GOOD mediator can really help, court appointed ones are cheap. [/quote]

you need to send this to my wife...her atty is beyond dreadful..withholding documents...not calling her back etc etc..here's the latest

today on the phone my wife said she left msg with her atty to get his ass moving on stuff... then i mentioned the letter my atty sent on july 19 and i wondered what she thought of it.

she said WHAT letter...so 2 weeks went by and he didnt even tell my wife that he got a financial package from my atty (stack of documents included too) and she said no wonder you think i'm lying when i said i have no idea about alimony...i told her id make her copy of the letter since her atty wont lol...i said see, i have your best interest at heart, he doesnt. And isnt that sad that i'm informing her more than her own atty. ugh

.....i told her i offered 600 month....... i said hey if you arent ok with it tell me what you want, we need to start fighting about it.. but point is we need to start talking!

So basically to date her atty has not asked me for a single thing, acknowledged receiving my atty letter to my wife..gave her a copy of the letter or attachments. And not responded to most calls. He WAS here one day AFTER he should have gotten the letter from my atty so he's really a nut job

i hope i can turn this into my advantage. But i told her i'm looking out for her more than her own atty! hopefully this helps me in the long run and her atty just accepts my offer to get rid of her

she said she cant afford to get another atty so this is good news..she's stuck with him! but this may also last forever :(
