Lynne Marie Miller

I hired Lynne to handle my divorce case. I made it clear to her that my primary objective was to keep my kids at home as much as possible. My wife and I had worked out a parenting time schedule in advance, which I was happy with. My only goal was that that schedule should not change. So, our stra...tegy was to not fight the division of assets and debts, as long as it meant keeping the parenting time schedule the same. The divorce decree was signed by the judge in May. I took $450,000 in debt, which included credit cards, student loans (my wife's) and a house that is $200,000 under water. This arrangement made some sense, because my wife was underemployed, making minimum wage and could not afford to take on any of the debt. Yesterday, my ex filed to have the parenting time agreement changed because she got a new job (paying $52,000/yr). There is nothing I can do to stop her. I have spoken to several attorneys who have said that any judge would rule in her favor. However, all of the asset and debt division are indisputable once the decree is signed. Now, I have all of the debt and no kids. Lynne NEVER mentioned that the asset/debt divisions were final, but that the parenting time agreement could change at anytime. She never informed me that this strategy was going to backfire. All my spouse had to do was wait until the decree was signed, go find a job and BOOM! Now I am completely screwed.
