Kenneth Louis Wake Jr.

I had an attorney who kept trying to get me to agree to joint custody when I kept my daughter the majority of the time. A friend recommended Mr. Wake and said he did a great job with her divorce. Mr. Wake agreed with me that I should not have to agree to him paying no child support and getting my da...ughter half the time. Mr. Wake also told me that his lawyer was going to try to intimidate me with lots of discovery and other costly procedures once he came on board and let them know I wanted primary custody and my dead beat husband needed to pay child support. Well sure enough, we had to answer a bunch of dumb questions and produce a bunch of useless documents. Mr. Wake subpoenaed my ex's payroll records and set it for trial. He couldn't figure out why my old attorney hadn't ever set it for trial when it had been nearly 1 1/2 years since we filed. As Mr. Wake expected, when we showed up for trial, they suddenly were agreeing that I should have custody but still wanted to pay about half the child support with promises to pay for other things. Mr. Wake advised against it so we had a hearing on the support and attorney's fees. The judge gave me custody, $923.47 a month in child support (not the $450 they offered), $17,545.93 in child support arrears (that was for the 19 months he hadn't paid anything since he moved out) and a $4,500 judgment for Attorney's fees (although, Mr. Wake said I may never collect that but he recorded the judgment anyway). I was so worried about how I was going to barely get by when my prior attorney wanted me to agree top no child support. Thank goodness for my attorney, Kenneth L. Wake, Jr. Highly recommended!
