Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
As per the Final Divorce Decree, it stipulates that I am not to receive Alimony nor Child Support until the marital home sales. It has now been three years and finaly as per cout order the house is to be sold as a short sale. We recently had an offer/accepted and we were almost ready to close on the deal until the Lender cancelled the deal because my ex has filed a Chapter 7 Bankrucy. When my ex agreed to a short sale in front of the Judge, he new then that the house could not sale because of his Bankrupcy. He took everyone for a fool. He has been living in that house for free for 2 years while I had to move out with my kids because I felt threatened and now I pay rent. He has negated on the entire Divorce Decree. What can I do now????????????
The attorney which I have has not been representing me right at all. All he does is take my money and three years later still in the same situation. HELP??? What can I do?????

Get a new lawyer. File a modification as to child support, alimony and temporary needs. The decree does not bar you (from what you are saying) for these things.
