Is This Legal? If Not, What? GEORGIA
I am in the process of trying to find a new attorney to handle my divorce. Husbands Attny filed Motion to Enfore Agreement and court date is first week of April. I did not sign agreement and did not agree to agreement yet my attorney wrote letter to opposing counsel stating that we were in agreement. They filed the motion to enforce. I was unaware that my attorney had made any comment to opposing counsel in that regard. I had made some changes or clarifications to the agreement and took them to my attorney. He indicated he would not change agreement and could not change agreement being that he gave counsel his word. I never signed agreement. He withdrew from my case. I filed the Divorce complaint as Irret Broken in Sept 2004. Today I received a document from my husbands attorney titled Answer and Counterclaim for Divorce. It states that the current agreement should be finalized due to cruel treatment on my part. The affidavit is dated 10/4 and the original answer that was filed did not have any counterclaim. The answer that I was original shown by my attorney or told about by my attorney did not have any counterclaim. Is this legal? Can the defendendent revise the Answer and make a counterclaim now and 1 week before the court date? The whole thing is a lie because it was just recently developed yet the Affidavit attached is dated 10/4. Is this an issue?
