Illnois - desperate and destitute!
I need someone's advice, quickly. My divorce ended 12/4/00 with the order to have back child support, my title to my car sent, emancipation of my daughter, and an agent of mine to get my awarded things by January 4, 2001 (within 30 days of divorce decree). Nothing has been done.
My attorney tells me how she calls the respondent's attorney but gets no answers. That's it! She has done nothing else. I've heard the respondent (the ex) has destroyed and/or hidden my things with intent on my not getting them. I am financially destitute from this, am living with a friend who was kind enough from keeping me from living on the street. I have creditors at my door because of the expense of this divorce (I was depending on getting the settlement by the assigned date to pay my creditors). I have become physically disabled because of all of this, increasing stress which has accelerated my rhuematoid arthritis and scoleosis to the point that I cannot work anymore. I cannot drive my car because he refuses to give me the title, I cannot get new plates or insurance for it. Since I was forced from my home, (2 yrs ago as he is an abusive alcoholic and my 18 yr old son was physical against me. The counselors and law enforcement warned me to get as far away as possible for my safety) has caused me great financial distress. I no longer have any money to continue on, yet my attorney keeps wanting me to return to IL to file a "rule to show cause". She cannot seem to help me with an injunction against him to protect my things, or prepare and file the proper paperwork for my share of his company sponsored 401K. What can I do? I cannot go back to Illinois physically or financially and my attorney is aware of this, yet seems to want me to still come. She is not pro-active. Can someone please advise me on this? My attorney seems only to have time to call the other side, who continues to ignore her, while my husband makes plans to destroy, sell or hide my things when he moves soon. I am desparate and at a loss as to what to do... Any input, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
