I thought we were doing a No Uncontested divorce until I went to a lawyer today... I was served on March 25, 2005. It Defaulted on April 27, 2005 but no decree has yet to be filed. Lawyer told me that we need to go to the court house and put off this fault judgment and he needed 2,000 dollars up front. She has no lawyer and did all the paperwork herself. Is this the right procedure for a UnContested Divorce? The lawyer says she can take everything away from me once she fills out the decree and files it... The kids have been with me since the day I Kicked her out for cheating? One last question that is very important for me is I notice reading the Verified Complaint for Divorce is on the back page it says "My Commission Expires 12-5-05... Does that mean if she does nothing about the decree the whole case will expire on 12-5-05 and I can file on her after that day?
All these lawyers around here want alot of money up front... But I only make $10.00 an hour supporting both of my kids... My kids are 2 and 4 and after I pay babysitting, rent, util's I really don't have alot of money extra... So what does a person do in my case...? I know if she gets the kids something will happen to them...What can I do about this?
