Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I don't care what he claims. Does the husband have money? Does he work for a firm? Does he pay taxes? Has he applied for credit cards, car loans, or any other financing in the recent year or two? If your sister knows where to look, or has a reasonable idea as where the money is, we should be able to find it. If your we cannot prove the husband's financial means, then she is probably S.O.L.. You might want to suggest that she retain another and more aggressive attorney. I would hope that after spending $50G your sister should have a good idea what the ex's financial situation is. His deposition should have been taken. I practice Family Law though out the Greater Tampa Bay Area.

You can either pay the attorney to finish the case or pay another attorney to finish the case.

I suggest you tell the attorney you have to do the right thing or you will report him immediately to the Florida Bar for misrepresentation and a refund of your money for not complying with the Rules of Family Court. You have been taken for a ride.!!!! The Florida Bar can appoint an attorney to assist you while handling this investigation.

You can't do anything. Your sister is the one with the problem. Unfortunately, when he files a motion, your sister's lawyer has to respond and that costs money. The mere fact that your sister's lawyer husband intends on making her life a living hell does not automatically mean that her attorney has not represented her well, or that he's done anything wrong. Like someone else said, she can stick with present lawyer, or find someone else. I wish her the best of outcomes.
