Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I just went to a modification hearing and had a lawyer! The judge asked abt my income and asked if I received state assistance. Food stamps and the amount. He included in my cs worksheet as income. My lawyer still sent the order in incorrectly and the worksheet amd law clearly state yu can not and the order is final and our business in final and I need to seek a appeal. Court was sept 2 he signed sept 16. I reached out several times to her as well as email, vm and visit. Never returned my call and prior to him signing. I a, a vet and was disrespected by the judge as well. She said I had to wait to get the paperwork to see how he figured that amount. Never saw it. Just what she sent in the mail. I actually want my retainer back because she didn't do nothing and was not prepared. What can I do for both? I'm still in the time limit for reconsideration isn't it her job because I paid her amd gave time to fix before and also it's illegal

Either get with your lawyer or hire a new one well in advance of the deadline. Waiting and posting on the internet is not going to accomplish either of those things while time is running. You can then deal with the issue of fees.
