What is the name of your state? FL
Hello,
I am asking this question because I am helping to fund my daughters case. (Both parents are 18). In a child custody case the other attorney submitted a motion to withdraw as attorney of record. The other party said it was because he signed the parenting agreement without his attorney and his attorney did not agree with it and was angry with him. Does this sound right?
All along the other party was making agreements with my daughter which were followed up with letters from his attorney stating just the opposite of what was agreed, including much false information. This has went on for months, driving up our costs and now with this motion I am wondering if the other attorney had his own agenda all along. He is one that is paid monthly vs retainer, I believe a 'fathers rights' attorney.
The motion stated the reason is:
1) Respondent/Father has elected to proceed in this matter without counsel.
2) Respondent/Father has failed to abide by the terms of employment with counsel.
3) The differences between Respondent/Father and counsel are such that they are not capable of being resolved.
4) Respondent/Father last known address......
Would/could an attorney submit this if the reason was just because his client signed the agreement without the attorney agreeing to it? If not, does anyone have any idea what valid reasons an attorney would have to have to do this?
Our attorney has submitted the signed agreement, so does that mean it is all down hill from now?
Thank you in advance for any information/advice anyone has on this.
