Kathleen M. McCumber

Did not return my phone calls. Did not keep me informed of status of my case or appeals, did not prepare me for court proceedings and what or what not to expect. She did not follow through with any actions when I told her my suspicions that my Ex was hiding assets, nor do anything about the domesti...c abuse issues. She did not fight for me and what I wanted or what was fair and equitable, nor inform me of the legal aspects of anything I discussed and disclosed. I felt abandoned, rather than supported. I still have financial awards ordered in decree that she has not obtained for me. She did not discuss or go over the final decree, nor visitation schedule, nor other complex aspects of decree that I did not completely understand. She did not provide critical financial and income documents affecting Child Support order. She was not prepared in any way for the temporary hearing and seemed uninformed about what my Ex and his Atty were going to do or say, so I guess she did not go over discovery docs or inquire about what My Ex wanted or was planning to do, or look into what his Attorney's strategy was going to be. Finally and more important that anything else, she alone is responsible for losing the most precious, "things" that mattered more than anything in the world to me-my children. Her response to me about losing Managing Conservatorship was that I should be happy because I did not have to deal with the daily issues such as feeding them and homework, etc.

During my emotional and stressful time Mrs. McCumber was always available to me whether it was by email or phone call. I was able to get joint custody, pay less in child support and keep the majority of my retirement. Although I went into this emotional time with low expectations I came out of the ex...perience better than I expected. Her experience and life long community involvement in Galveston county was a huge reason for my outcome.
