Divorce on hold? Is this normal?
Hired this paralegal, who’s dad is a lawyer to do my divorce for cheap. He began it in Oct. He got my ex’s county wrong and the cops for serving sent it back. He wanted to serve him via certified mail, but now says they will serve him afterall. He keeps sayin the cops will serve ine week, then the next, etc. My mom says he is a con artist. He says that the attorney general are dragging their heels for a court hearing to sue my ex husband for child support, we are waiting for that and they are sticking their nose in my divorce case business.

He was planning on me being divorced late Dec but it might not end up being till after that.

Does this happen alot? My ex wasnt paying CS so I turned him into my state attorney generals child support division. Supposedly I shouldve done the divorce first?

I am seeking an uncontested divorce in the state of Alabama. We have no children or property to leave issue with. We are both willing and ready to sign papers. I’m wanting to file the paperwork with the court myself to save me some money (a lawyer wanted ,000 when if I file it myself it’ll be less than 0!). I printed off several documents off the internet that are for this…I need someone to tell me exactly what I’ll need to submit to the court so that my paperwork isn’t rejected for being incomplete.
If no one knows how to answer this, maybe you could point me in the direction of someone who could? The lawyer I spoke to wouldn’t look over these papers for me even for a fee. I need a paralegal or something, but I have no idea where to find one. Googling it doesn’t offer much help.
Please help! We really want to be divorced!! I got the paperwork I have so far from Legal aid, and here is what they are called:
-Divorce complaint
-Plaintiff’s testimony
-Request for divorce judgment by default.

I’m looking to file for divorce without a lawyer in Texas. What are your recommendations for doing so. Is it best to purchase a kit and fill it out myself, or to pay a bit extra and have a paralegal fill out the documents for me? Are there any recommendations on where to purchase said documents?

Does the paralegal have to tell the boss if he takes the husband in as a client for the divorce? where can I find this info?

He’s supposed to be good and I can afford it, but it seems like an awful lot. He does have paralegal who charges at 5 per hour and she can handle certain things, but still it seems like a lot. Just wondering what others have experienced. This is in Kansas City. Thanks.

Hopefully soon to be EX hubby is in ontario. I reside in new brunswick. 2 minor children, for which custody has been dealt with (courts ordered I have custody, him no visitation due to abuse of children.) due to his said abuse at the time of custody, no child support order was made.
Since then, he won 1.35 million in lotto 6/49 (his share….altogether 10.8 million was won) He has never stepped forward to offer any support for these children. Although now he is attempting to file for a "simple" divorce in ont. meaning no financial info is shared between us. Since he attempted to serve me through court documents sent through unregistered mail, that had to be forwarded & reforwarded I know that I have been improperly served, and am refusing to acknowledge receipt of documents. Now he has a paralegal calling my parents home (where i havent resided in 20 years)
sorry cont… in an attempt to get confirmation of the documents.
Given these circumstances, what rights do I have? I want to be sure the rights for child support are preserved, don’t want anything to be done in my abcense (sp?) and would rather travel to ont & appear before a judge if that means the kids get support. Money is tight, and really looking for suggestions that I can attempt on my own before hiring a lawyer.
I’m sorry that should have read that he was incarcerated at the time of the custody hearing for the abuse he put us through which is why child support was not ordered
OK, we also live WELL below the poverty line & although I know a laywer is desperatly needed, hiring one will literally come down to not being able to feed the children. I’ve tried legal aid, but due to the complexities of the kids was refused. (the amount of money involved & the cross province issues) I’ve also tried contact various lawyers to inquire about some type of payment like a personal injury lawyer (no payment unless you receive type thing)with no luck. I’m getting really discouraged. Even if I walk away with nothing I want something to see the children thru

A paralegal at my former divorce attorney’s office is being pretty rude. I need the attorney to clarify one line of the parenting plan from my divorce. I cannot get any answers. The paralegal stonewalls me and says there is a conflict because he used to work for my ex husband’s divorce attorney and that my lawyer can no longer represent me. I have not received a formal document stating that. I cannot afford to hire another lawyer just to clarify one sentence for me. What should I do?

I am writing in desperation; I desperately need advice. My divorce has been going on for three years. Very recently my divorce attorney passed away. The divorce has basically been a comedy of errors and and should’ve been finalized long ago.
But finally… The divorce was headed to a conclusion with the trial week being set for March 14th. Now because of my attorney’s death it has been continued, but I have to find another attorney. I have talked to three attorneys and they either don’t want to help me or as with the attorney I talked to yesterday want an exorbitant amount to represent me (,000.) I do not have ,000. I have a little over ,000 to my name and no job.
The attorney that wants ,000 wants to work a deal with the ,000 coming out of my equity in the marital home.
Since no other attorney will touch this case, should I hire her? Or is there a way I could finish this up on my own?
In answer to someone’s question "Did I kill my attorney"? No. He had two strokes over the past two years and died of a heart attack on Feb. 1 at his kitchen table.
So, should I hire her or not? No one else will take the case. Can I do this on my own?
I do not want to "smear" the attorney that died, but my file set on his desk untouched for over a year. He had a paralegal that was not doing the work and finally had to fire her. She still represented herself as working for him for over 3 months. My husband owns a business which at one time was quite valuable. He has now filed business and personal bankruptcy. These are some of the things that have made my case so difficult.

Hello, me and my ex did get a divorse 5 years ago through a paralegal and final by a judge. We agreed I would pay for alimony for 10 years and will be done paying in 5 more years. My question is will I have to continue to worry the rest of my life for fear of paying more alimony? Can she refile in court yet again?

Thanks

i have filed and served papers on my husband. my attorney costs 0 per hour. how can i use as little os her time as possible to save money by doing things myself.

here are some ideas i have thought of: file additional paperwork by mail myself (are there any good resources for how to do this?)

hire a paralegal for everything but legal advice and representation (on average what is their hourly rate, and has anyone done this before?)

have as little contact with my lawyer as humanly possible

any other suggestions?
