I would really appreciate a little advice here.
After 4 1/2 years of being separated and trying to get my ex-wife to the "table" to formalize agreements and the divorce without the lawyers involvement. I was finally put in a position to retain a lawyer to get the matters settled....primarily my access schedule, child support and divorced. This is not a high conflict divorce nor is there any significant assets to be divided. Filed divorce application, been through case conference and settlement conference at $13,000 in legal fees and I still am not divorced, still do not have an access schedule and an interim order for child support was made but in the wrong amount (long story, but its $50 higher per month than it should be because some "yahoo" couldn't figure out how to deal with exchange rates).....
I am at the end of my wits here.....I feel like the two lawyers are just playing games with me and my $$. My lawyer blames it on their side, dragging their feet etc. Yes I'm sure my ex is not very motivated to wrap this up - she'll lose control of "the access" as right now she pretty much dictates when I'll see the kids (note: they leave five hours away).
What can I do....is there something I should say to my lawyer besides "WTF?" 13k for a low conflict divorce is absurd and to still have nothing to show for it?????
