CS order is 140 a week +30 arrears. Lawyer told me to accept $77 dollars a week, ..Defendant ordered frm 1993 to have medical on child.
My lawyer told me it's not defendants fault he doesn't have medical. When it is court ordered from 1993! My Lawyer discussed my case in front of other parties and defendant in courthouse. I had to tell him to come inside the court appoint discussion rooms to discuss the case. Defendant makes 40,000 a year, has 4 kids. Mines is the oldest who has the 1st child support case. Second mother gets $125 a week and third childs mother get $120 per week and social security benefits for one of the kids.
Lawyer was rolling his eyes, sighing being very disrespectful. Every question I asked had a very unprofessional response. I dnt knw wat I should do!!!!!
If you do not have confidence in your attorney, you should obtain new representation. Trust is crucial to the attorney-client relationship and your concerns should be respected. Your attorney is your advocate in the courtroom. While subsequent children are entitled to support, your child(ren) should not be short changed. If you would like to discuss your case, I can be reached at 609-921-7770 ext. 5 or by e-mail at sdurst@lotglaw.com
