Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Dissolution Decree

decree certified December 22, 2004. I

was to get half of our Retirement

account and $100,000 Sousal Support

settlement (retrospectively a mistake,

whatever!). When matter not resolved

had to pay another, more expensive,

attorney and went back to court for an

''Agreed Entry'' so I could get MY money,

September 21, 2006. Why have I been

made to pay for this? Wasn't it my ex's

attorney's responsibility to sign the

QDRO's presented to them June 2005?

I know the deceptive behavior was

typical for ex but didn't expect his

attorney to take on his personna and

wonder if they can be held responsible

for the additional fees without my

incurring more fees (I'm on a very

limited income now due to MS)? It was

very discouraging that ''the law is the

law'' it's just not enforced without

additional effort and expense. Thank

you for considering these questions.

Re: Dissolution Decree

I suggest you write a letter to both attorneys saying this very same thing, give them a limited number of days to reply to you, for example, 15, and, if you don't get a reply or one that is to your satisfaction, write a letter to the grievance committee of your county's bar association.
