Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
My daughter's attorney dropped the ball on two occasions. One he never sent her the judge signed documents for Agreed Order after the May hearing. She asked on several occasions and he said he had heard nothing. Second there was a decision made by the Judge in July that the child should have to change his name to his father's even though they never married. In late Nov. we were informed by child's father of the signed papers and asked if his name had been changed. No papers had ever been sent by her lawyer. She fired the lawyer and he sent all the paperwork he had. Still no signed papers. The lawyer says he told her about the papers and name change. He did not. And I guess to ease his conscience he returned her fees. Is it now her responsibility to get all the signed court papers and follow through on whatever orders the judge made? Does she have any recourse? Becky in Indiana thank you

Knowing what she knows at this point, she should get the papers from court or the father's attorney and follow through on the orders. I am not sure what you mean by recourse. recourse concerning the name change? Recourse against the attorney? Please repost with more specifics.
Thank you
