Question

Asked 4/22/2011

This is my 2nd divorce attorney. Firm now after 1 month wants to withdraw.

I gave the 2nd firm a retainer. Now the attorney claims she does not have enough resources to handle my case. My needs require too much time and money.

Should i lower my needs?

My finances - I am slowly running out of money since my husband can drag this on forever since he is an attorney.

Also my husband won't grant a divorce so where do I find another attorney? And this would be my 3rd attorney on the divorce

Should I try to negotiate with the attorney that wants to withdraw?

You probably need to lower your expectations especially since you're running out of money. If you're asking for too much from your husband, and won't negotiate, an attorney is going to get tired of it sooner or later.

You've got to make up your mind what's worth more... your sanity or money. I'm sure it's not an easy choice to make, but if you want an attorney to help you, you've got to bend a little.

As for your husband not giving you a divorce, you can put yourself at the mercy of the court and tell the judge that he won't give you one. You are entitled to get a divorce if you want one. So be nice to your attorney and bend a little.

How can I ask the new attorney to represent me without sounding mean. When my husband left, he took our13 year old daughter with him. There was never a custody hearing. He simply took her rom the family home. How can I say that to show that my daughter should be back here in the amily home living with me rather than him. How can I present my case to the new attorney without sounding aggressive

It took several months to file for divorce. She had been living with me for over 11 years; now she has been living with him for around 18 months. So how can I get this across to the new attorney
