Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
If an attorney tells you that he and the opposing attorney are in agreement that you are owed a month of alimony...And if you tell him that the ex was 6 months behind in alimony,that he stopped paying on his own. What would you say about such an attorney,that he would tell you that you probably wouldn't get all that was owed to you....Now take into consideration that the ex didn't have a judges order to stop paying,and I am going to have to file a motion of contempt..What would this suppose to be attorney be thinking,is he trying to help the other side or what?????? I would really like to have an answer...I don't know much about legal stuff,but I think I now enough that I think I might be getting hoodwinked....Hopefully you will answer if this is an unprofessional attorney.

The odds are unlikely that an attorney will risk losing his license to sell-out his client. The same would apply for the attorney representing your ex. However, there might be a difference of opinion that leads your counsel to make such a recommendatiion,, or your attorney may not be up to the case.
I suggest contacting another attorney for a 2nd opinion.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
