Advice.. It’s Just A Mess

Card image cap

Location: New York

I hired a layer from a large firm last year April, for my divorce with full custody. My ex did not show

Up at first court hearing so the judge allowed him another chance. fast forward to October this year.

We had another court date which led to an inquest. Judge agreed on 100% custody no contact order for my ex and a receiver was going to sell our house fast forward to today. Nothing was done yet when I was told by my lawyer a receiver would reach out to me in a few days. I send multiple follow up emails with Barley a response from her, then Jan 12 I send another more demanding email to see what was going on and got a kick back email that her email doesn’t exist anymore. I called the firm and they told me that she left. She didn’t tell me no letter no email no nothing so I kind of was just abandoned in email world so they assigned me to a new lawyer, who is partner there who called me and I asked for an update and she told me everything‘s a mess.

The judge orders don’t match the minutes or transcript from courts so she needs to sleep on it and get back to me to figure out what we’re gonna do? And hasn’t called me back yet.. and my house is close to foreclosure soon my only asset I will lose on since my ex is unemployed and never plans a on working again (mentally ill). So I will no see a $ in child support.

I feel at a total loss and I’m trying to do the correct thing and our divorce is pretty cut and dry. No one‘s fighting for assets or anything. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Has this happened to anybody before I feel abandoned and out of $12,000 already that I really don’t have being a single mom.
