Today I received the final money held in the divorce trust along with the invoice of what I owe that I've been requesting for over a year. The statement says the "Total Legal Fees" are $14,500. That is the exact amount she kept from the divorce trust fund before she sent me the remainder (I gave permission for that). The statement does not state I gave $1,500 retainer. Did she keep too much? It would seem it would say the Total bill was $16K if she kept $14.5K
I don't trust her. She shorted my ex about $1,000 the court ordered her to pay him. She told him he could stay one more day in the house after he was court evicted but she told him he had to give me jewelry worth $2K (which i didn't know about until I was given the ring). She was court ordered to pay the final settlement by December 1 and was 2 months late. She fired me as a client (but wrote the order so her firm would manage the trust); but "forgot" to send me the court order she'd been removed and let me know 4 days before the final trial that I'd be representing myself. I could go on and on about how she messed up; but will save the rest for the Legal Society or Court to decide.
I just didn't know if this was another mess up on her part or if that's how legal bills are written.
Thanks for any help on figuring out if she messed up again.
