I'm trying to get through my separation and I've found it very difficult to deal with my lawyer. I've been paying him for a year and I have no idea what to expect in the way of a settlement or judgement. I was common-law, so it's not cut and dried, but he won't or can't give me ANY idea as to what is fair. He also has demonstrated that he has no strategy in mind at all for my case and just goes through whatever motions are required at that time.
I guess I don't know if this is the norm when dealing with lawyers, or if he's as poor at dealing with clients as I think he is. Am I expecting too much when I want to know if I have any hope with Constructive Trust with respect to the money she stashed away (we had 11.5 years of only joint banking), RRSPs or her pension, where I can live wrt our current residence or my daughter's school, and SS amounts?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with lawyers and I'd also appreciate it if you wanted to PM me any recommendations for lawyers in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
