What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My husband has been raked over the coals yet again by the justice system. He pays 50% of his income in child support. The custodial parent took him back to court yesterday. His attorney gave him a one day notice which was not enough time to take off from his job so he couldn't attend. Her original case was to increase child support and decrease visitation. Yesterday the judge awarded her attorney's fees (even though his attorney was present), increased the child support to include medical insurance (even though he has covered the kids through his employer since day one) and the visitation is whatever they can agree on (which of course she won't agree to anything).
Is there anything he can do? Is it even worth the expense of trying to get a more experienced attorney? Is he just screwed in a biased justice system?
