I have found family court, and even the "alleged" best attorneys respond in the way you mentioned. They are not especially aggressive advocates. They tend to do what's easiest for them, not what's fair. I've learned that I have to be my own advocate, and I make sure my issues are answered. We'll see.

I empathize with you. Keep advocating for yourself. I imagine myself like the hawk, which is a bird seen everywhere around here. Still and quiet, but with a laser focus that will catch anything that moves, like my sleazy former husband about financial settlement, and what is truly fair.
