divorce and custody
fighting for child, mother has cps case against her for drug abuse. ad litem assigned keeps prolonging the case. seems like she is taking mothers side. wants a mediation now. mother has no attorney and i have paid 3500.00 out of my pocket at this point and they are talking more for the mediation. how can the divorce be finalized now ? can something be done against the lawyer for taking so long on this case after its fully paid for?

Re: divorce and custody
Custody cases are very expensive and time-consuming. The ad litem is responsible to the court to assure the court that all possible avenues of relief for the child have been addressed. It is rare in this county for a judge to allow a divorce case to go to trial without first attempting mediation. These are issues you need to be addressing face-to-face with an attorney.
