After paying $2,500 to an attorney to file a custody and visitation suit, the attorney now wants another $1,500, stgrongly implying that he will not appear in court or process any other motions, letters, responses, etc. I have not received a detailed bill for any work since the original $2,500 retainer fee was "allegedly" used up. After being told that there was now $1,500 owed, I delivered a $100.00 check to his office as a partial payment. I cannot afford any more this month. All actions have been filed, mediation points agreed upon, and the next court appearance is October 1, to rule on a motion and counter issues.
Q-1: Can the attorney just quit the case without any warning?
Q-2: What are my options?
