Would not recommend

I would have expected an experienced divorce attorney to know his way around some of the things that finally became a part of my final judgement. Disparity in income between me and my ex was not even thought of - all expenses were split 50/50 even though my income is so low, I have no chance in you-k...now-where if paying for half of the marital home that I only lived in for 9 month,s but the ex chose to move out of. times for parenting time drop off are right at the kid's bedtimes. He did the bare minimum and took a hefty check.
