Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

IRS refund diverted to his account -

I filed for divorce in Cook Co in Dec. 03. In early FEb we did our taxes and signed and made copies of signed forms so my son could apply for college aid. My spouse, without my knowledge, then filled in his own personal bank information after I signed. The $6000 was deposited before I found out. I have been a stayathome mom with no income and temp support only covers groceries, no other expenses. then his year end bonus of $6500 came in March. I could my share of the money to live on till I get a job but he has full control. My attorney has done nothing about this - says its will get settled in the end and we will see where he spent it - but I need the money now to live on, not an accounting. The judge was told but did noting (not a formal request, so iddn't rule just said deal with it later). Couldn't a restraining order keep him from spending this before it is settled? Is there any legal reason not to file one?

Re: IRS refund diverted to his account -

Your lawyer should ask the court for temporary support/maintenance and a protective order that secures the money. I do divorce work and could be of service to you. I charge $250 per hour and would need a $2500.00 retainer. i have been practicing in Cook County for 17 years. See my web site for more info. Lomap.com
