Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
lawyer contact
My divorce is taking over a year and my lawyer won't answer my voice mails asking for the progress and what is going on. I also go in person and bring a copy of my ex's mean texts from my phone and try to talk to my lawyer. Her mother called me and said I was harrassing them and to stop and she hollared at me. I know I have not said anything mean I thought by asking more freq she would have to answer. I'm afraid she has forgotten me and my divorce lost in papers. Her mother also stated she has other cases to tend to and will get to mine as she is suppose too. I know my ex has the final decree paperwork and is complaining and I have not seen it. Am I suppose to see it too? Also our mediation was done in Dec and since then I have only received 2 full child support checks and last month only $400. I have 4 children to support . My ex feels he does not need to pay full until it is final and I feel he is stalling.

First, divorces take however long they take. There is no hard and fast rule for how long they last.
Second, I'm not sure why anyone at your attorney's office is "hollaring" at you, and you certainly may want to consider obtaining a different attorney, but in your attorney's defense, it can sometimes be a extremely frustrating when a client doesn't give you time to respond to their first phone message before they are calling again. Perhaps voicemails and office visits about things your attorney has no control over (like mean text messages from your soon-to-be ex) are a bit much, and when you go to your attorney's office you need to make an appointment, not just show up. Focus on the important issues like unpaid child support and the final decree, and remember, that almost-ex of yours has lied to you before, he may be lying now.
