What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
My lawyer is more worried about how he will look, then to focus on my needs. my stbx and I have agreed on the division of property, pensions, accounts, spousal support and everything else, but for some reason my attorney doesn't agree!!! I have filled out a financial form listing my bills, expenses, and what not, and he says its not enough. I have always lived very simple and my attorney cannot understand that I don't spend more money. He talks about "discovery" and wanting all my husband's assets to see what I can get. Told him what I wanted and he stated that he didn't think that was enough. He wants me to fill out another form and put down more expenses or to raise the estimated expenses that I have. I know more about my husband's assests than he does. I just don't understand that if we are both in agreement, why my attorney can't contact the other one and state, this is what she wants and he wants, let's type up a judgement and get this divorce finallized.
