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.
