Divorce review

I paid $200.00 for what I was told would be an hour appointment. He was in the room a total of 22 minutes. $100/11 minutes. My understanding when setting up the appointment was my questions on what I want to fight for would be answered or if it was possible or what to do from this point on regarding ...a divorce (1st divorce). I feel as if I paid 200 to just meet him. The questions I was able to ask were answered with "its up to the judge". I feel as if he was not even willing to listen but made it clear that it will cost up to 30 thousand. I am fighting for my kids and dont have 200 to waste like this.
