My friend, Lynn, has been cheated. Unfortunately, the divorce settlement has been completed. But here's the deal. There are many items but here are two major things: 1) she has not been able to get any lawyer (she has had three) to fight for her. Her ex was told to sell stocks that were in his company plans (SBC) and split the proceeds with Lynn and yet none of her lawyers has given her any information on these transactions. Also, her ex has lied about the fact that he doesn't have a pension plan when we know he does. It didn't get put in the QDRO. 2) she knows her ex has had a couple pay increases, yet is unable to get the child support increased. She has attempted to go it alone only for the judge to say she needs representation. She can't afford it. She needs to subpoena his tax returns and payroll records to prove he has a pension and increase in wages yet she is told that this is not possible. What gives? She makes less than $20,000/year and is going to nursing school. She can't afford to keep pouring money into lawyers yet she is getting cheated big time. Anything we can do to help her? Thanks.KJ
