I have a legal situation that I need an answer to. I was granted a divorce in June 2004 in court. There is of course the 90 day waiting period before it can be finalized. We both agreed to all the terms and the judge issued his ruling, etc. Here's my bind. I owe my divorce atty money, but have been out of work for almost a year and am getting ready to declare bankrupcy, including the bill from my atty ( which I truly did not intend to do, but have no choice). However, my atty refused to file my final divorce decree with the court until I pay him. Is there any recourse for me in this situation? If I file now, will he be forced to file? It's driving me nuts, because as far as the world is concerned, we are still married...........PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME??????????????????
