Jennifer, I am very sorry you were not satisfied with your divorce process. When a client confronts me with an issue in their case and I in turn contact the opposing counsel to discuss that issue and we are unable to reach a resolution on that issue, we have to take action by litigating the issue which may include going to trial over. A Client can severely tie an attorneys hands when it comes to litigating an issue by disallowing the matter to get escalated and in turn become more expensive. In some cases, especially when mediation is involved, the final language of the judgment of divorce may go back and forth till we have an agreement. That will delay the entry of the judgment. As soon as I receive the entered judgment of divorce from the court or opposing counsel, my office always sends copies to our client. The client may also choose to pick the documents up any time, if they wish. If there was any sort of delay, let alone weeks delay, it was simply because we did not have the documents. Further, a judgment of divorce is not the only thing that is filed with the court in cases involving minor children. Barring unusual circumstances, a uniform child support order is also entered. This is a document that we go always go over at the end of the case. Once entered, the friend of the court may take weeks and sometimes months to begin the withholding and payment of child support. This is something the attorneys can not control. Please contact me if you wish to discuss things further. Once again, I am truly sorry you were not satisfied. I do everything in my ability to make sure my clients are satisfied at the end of their case.
