My question involves a marriage in the state of: Michigan
I am currently going through a divorce and I feel like my lawyer may not be working for me. Any advice on what I should do will help. I'll describe what's happening currently.
We went to the conciliation and part of that agreement was we would have joint custody with me getting 60% and her 40%. I was unemployed at the time but my wife left the apartment and she was ordered to pay the bills plus $40 each pay check instead of paying the child support. Soon after she called CPS and they opened a case, it was closed as they found nothing wrong. Soon after she called them again with more false allegations. Part of the agreement was she didn't have to pay the bills or pay me the $40 if I got cash assistance from the state. I have Food Stamps and Medicaid but no cash assistance. She told her lawyer that I was getting cash assistance with no evidence and her lawyer told her to stop paying the bills and the $40. With CPS constantly involved and her no longer giving me the $40 every paycheck I can't put gas in my car to pick up my kids or find a job. I feel as if she is trying to sabotage me so the courts will grant her custody. We also have a mutual restraining order that lists harassment as one of the things we can't do. Is calling CPS with false allegations considered harassment? So far my lawyer hasn't done anything except respond to her lawyer when he tries to file a motion but hasn't actually done anything about what she has done. It was an abusive marriage with the abuse coming from her and I feel like she is just continuing that abuse even after we are no longer together. The wife has also opened up a custody investigation with friend of the court at the same time she stopped paying the bills against the court order. I feel like I'm losing my mind, I thought once we filed for divorce the abuse would stop, just so stressed out and really need some advice on what I should do.
