Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I'm in a child custody case and the judge ordered both parties attend mediation. My lawyer failed to attend mediation and i'm stuck w/ no cour order to see my daughter. The attorney does not return my calls. Also, the other attorney(respondent) is pursuing me for her fees. The longer this case is open, the higher my fees will be from the respondent attorney.
