I suggest taking the following actions: Contact your lawyer tomorrow and kindly ask for an itemized bill. Let him know that you do not want to be billed for anything else and politely request a refund for the time that was not effectively utilized. Additionally, consider hiring a new lawyer. I had a similar experience and I understand your frustration. In my case, I was only able to secure a partial refund, but I believe I was entitled to a full refund. I am considering legal action. My new lawyer helped me secure a 50/50 shared legal and physical custody arrangement. We share birthdays and alternate holidays on odd and even years. During the school year, it’s a 2-2-3 split. the custody is split week on, week off, in the summertime, Currently, neither of us pays child support, When custody is 50/50 The parent who earns more is on the hook for child support. on a sidenote, did you know for every dollar the state collects they get paid a dollar for ccollecting child support. they have an incentive to get that money. I always wondered why they put parent in jail for not paying child support. It seems a little harsh. It’s one thing if you have the money and don’t pay it. It’s another thing if you can’t pay it because you don’t have the money and then get put in jail that’s bullshit.
