Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have a custody case and the opposite counsel manipulates Court Orders, misrepresents the truth to the Juidicial officer, or twists my words in front of the Commissioner. Also he uses quotes out of context. He writes me long emails lying about events that never happened. He also made bougus complaints against me to various administrative agencies, control boards, or authorities to seek to harass me. He also made claims in his letters that I am mentally unstable, etc and he contunuously harasses me via emails and letter with unfounded statements. He has used often profanities when I talked to him on the phone and for that reason I do not accept any calls from him. I called State Bar and they said that even if I file a complaint the State Bar will not do much. What options to I have?

Get your own lawyer. If you read my past posts, especially in Family Law, I point people to self-help resources absolutely whenever it is possible and reasonable to do so. What you describe is not one of those situations. You need a lawyer. If the attorney is as bad as you say, and especially if your ex has more money than you do, there is a good chance your ex will be ordered to pay some or all of your fees.
