Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Michigan

Legal Malpractice

If an opposing attorney knows that I have a medical condition requiring expensive medications and knows I don't have medical insurance through the divorce settlement and am waiting on the 401K to pay for medical treatment of which is a medical emergency and he knows that and sits on the QDRO's, My question is , Is the opposing attorney in contempt of court? The divorce was 6 months ago, he sat on them for over 2 months and 2 weeks ago was told I was in a medical emergency with my health and told my ex, He doesn't care what I want.

Is this legal malpractice and can he be held in contempt. I have already had to go to the ER once and have bills to prove it.

Re: Legal Malpractice

No, it is not legal malpractice, because the lawyer you have described is not your lawyer. But there still might be other things you can do about it. You might be able to have your lawyer file a motion. I cannot give you more specific advice without first reading the judgment that was entered in your case. If you would like, please call me.
