Transcript Question

[Silverplum]

LdiJ
Thank you for your response.
It is not an appeal. I am not concerned about giving a copy if the transcript is used in a future case.
I would use the transcript of the ruling to have a substitute attorney pen the order made by the judge if the vacationing attorney does not get it done quickly enough.

You've now "outsmarted" yourself.

That's not how it works. You can't hire another attorney -- even to do a piece of the job -- without Officially Removing the first one.

Thanks all. I will not be posting many more details of this c o n tem 9t ruling. It is on an OP, not a custody issue. However, it does effect the child greatly and other filings will result.
The respondent was already found in con - tem p\9t and remedies were other than jail the first hearing. in the com - plian= ce hearing this ruling came down by default.
Attorney vacation until mid September.
I do not want the ex to find this via google so please excuse the encription.
My goal regarding the transcript is to get the judgement to a substitute attorney and this order written as soon as possible.

Wow. Exhausting. Simple transcript question. Thanks Ldij and Zigner.

I realize that suilverplum. Thanks. What else do you have? Anything regarding the actual question? No? Thanks for playing.

Thanks for the reply. I understand why you would say it feels smarmy. That's why I'm here and not ignorantly asking the court reporter if they will be informing the opposition, and cancelling the transcript order if they will.

Would you say it is good strategy to inform the opposition that a default judgement has been rendered and remind them to appeal within 30 days?
I am protecting a child and allowing the judge's ruling to be affected. Not really smarmy after all.

But hey. Thanks for trying.



If anyone has an answer to the question I appreciate it.

Sounds more like an end run.

By the way... you can't just get a random "other" lawyer write up the order. You can figure out why not.

There is nothing "simple" about your intentions.

Oh and what a giggle. Like her "encryption" would even work!

Need the ruling transcript to hire another attorney to write the order for the judge. I do not want this opportunity squandered. I would prefer my attorney write it but received an email today saying her ipad and many other things stolen in Europe. She contacted the judge and allerted her of the situation and informed me the order would have to wait until after she returned September 10th.
What else?

Wait for the 10th. - it's really that simple and only a very short time away (in the legal sense).

Oh, yeah...I remember now...thanks for playing.

Go for it. Hire TWELVE attorneys, each to write a separate paragraph in your Case Of Import And Secrecy.

Thank you Zigner.

Let's look at OP's other thread, shall we? https://forum.freeadvice.com/legal-ethics-lawyer-malpractice-89/prodding-atty-583151.html#post3089237

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX

Divorce case finalized. Plus, Order of Prot. finalized and recently enforced.

2 issues

1. Attorney's delays, errors, and ommissions have affected my case- in some cases diminishing arguments, and in others causing increased biling in order to correct.
In a recent OP enforcement by contempt, the judge remarked that the delay in filing hurt my argument of urgent need and also diminished the fees award.
Several times during the several months long delay as I attempted to prod my attorney to get the filing submitted and warned my case would be diminished if not executed swiftly, I was billed for these prodding emails. I only rehired her because she said the filing and hearing would be swift- less than 30 days. In fact it took 90 days to file. Many times emails would not be responded to and would be resent a week later. I was billed for each.

2. After a compliance hearing on 8/20 relating to the ruling of the contempt hearing, the respondent did not appear to show compliance. Neither did my attorney. My attorney's office called as I waited for over an hour at the hearing and asked if I wanted to just wait for the next compliance hearing since attorney was busy trying to get out of town on vacation and had 2 other hearings that day. I said Heck no (in more colorful words).
Attorney shows 2.5 hours late. Judge points out respondent is in contempt. Also points out the fees award was not written correctly in the enforcement order so the lack of payment was unenforceable without a modification. (another error by my atty)

Bottom line- the judge ordered respondent to jail for 180 days and to pay a fee for not registering for batt er er's course. Not a bench warrant mind you. A ruling of jail for contempt- 180 days plus $500 fine.
Attorney told me it would be submitted by Friday. It was not.
I received message today that attorney's laptop stolen so do not expect order to be submitted until mid September when attorney returns to work.

I want the order submitted and executed immediately so this opportunity to protect the child is not missed and so respondent does not comply and escape jail time, frankly. My attorney said this is not a bench warrant. It is a jail order and can not be erased without appeal. I just don't think the delay is in the child's best interest or in my case's best interest, and, I do not trust my attorney's assessment that the judge would not set aside the ruling if the respondent complied before arrested.

I notified the attorney that I wanted the order written from the hotel lobby, kinko's, with the help of another attorney, etc., but that failure to get the order submitted would push me to a bar complaint as I have patiently seen my case diminished several times and I could not tolerate it again.
Attorney said I can wait until mid Septemeber or she could withdraw from the case today.

Any advice? The most important thing to me is to get this ruling enforced and get respondent in jail, asap, before the window is lost. I believe this will be the exclamation point to my case and will allow additional actions such as full custody pursuit.
I have avoided contacting the bar association and would not want to delay this filing further.

Wow. You folks are too much.
I should invite the ex here to just see my strategy and give them a free get out of jail free card.
The other post does not contradict this one. Bring whatever you have folks. Let's debate this until the cows come home.

I will do my best to trade barbs with those that wish while at the same time attempting to protect the secrecy of my ongoing OP case vs. an abuser. (female)

Run along, now.

You wouldn't want to miss a trick.
