Our attorney we hired as a mediator. It's documented in writing that we hired him together to mediate & represent both of us.
However, our lawyer told me that I did not need to inform the judge that my finances had changed and that i had lost my income and job. That was poor legal advice that has hurt me financially. My mother tells me I can report him to the Board for this.
