Does any one have a ballpark figure for the cost of a motion or variance. I,m sure this would depeind on the circumstances so here goes:
In Short the court order we agreed to which I signed under duress heavily weighs against me and everyday I see signs of my spouse using it (ex-spouse) to alienate me from the chidren. What should a variance cost to alter this.
As well the OCL report heavily favors me having custody of the children. this seems to be our ace even if we go to trial. Would a motion not be sufficient , presented to a judge such that the issue of custody be resolved as per the report and again how much would this typically cost.
My problem is that the lawyers are playing cat and mouse with collaborative law , letters ,letters and more letters, .So far this year we've spent about 16 grand on legal fees to gain nothing or at best little. Certainly a motion or variance would not have cost this much.
Add to this a trial which my lawyer suggests might cost as much as 40 grand and you can see why I;m wound pretty tight on the matter.
So how much woud/should these things cost and what do I have to do to get my lawyer to get me custody of these children?
