What is the name of your state? I live in Ohio. My attorney filed a motion to withdraw and at his request I retrieved my files. It is very interesting to find documents and additional information previously unknown to me. I was aware my husband's attorney had made alot of allegations about me, filed financial disclosure in affidavits that are untrue. I was unsure if it was my husband's confabulations or his attorney's lack of ethics.
I am just now aware that although I consulted an attorney for family law the day after I was served, he had never filed anything with the court. There are letters that went back and forth between attorneys for four (4) months but he did nothing, he never filed representation. I left him to seek another counselor in family law who has been active.
The reason he withdrew was because I would not sign a joint income tax statement that appeared under my door on April 26th. Not because it was a late filing, or because it clearly documents my husband day-trading despite restraining order, or that it refutes financial statements my husband's attorney submitted to court, or because it has a claim of $6,000+ for legal fees for my husband but because I had no input. My husband had my name taken off our joint accounts and moved $50,000 out of our joint investments.
After filing for spousal support in June, I received my first check in December. I have used my all my savings and my credit to pay expenses for representation ($40,000) and $4,000 for medical expenses and had no input on this return. Nobody said anything to me about it.
I know the procedure for filing a complaint according to the Bar. I have read the state Rules of Court, Code of Professional Responsibility.
I wonder, is this ridiculous? Am I paranoid to think something else is going on?
