[quote=Anonymous]Some of the responses to the OP are disgraceful.  Not only are they rude, they are stupid.

[quote]It is not malpractice for your lawyer to respond within a day just because you'd prefer hours.[/quote]

No, it is not. It could be malpractice if the client is required to return to court on a matter that competent counsel could have advised them on and dealt with in a timely fashison.  Note the OP is not sure that the order is enforceable.  Competent counsel would have advised the client (the OP) if the order were enforceable and what the OP's options were regarding the order.  And would have done so well advance of a court date.

I hope you spend more time thinking about providing legal advice than you do posting statements like this one.  All the OP said was that adultery is an issue in an "indirect way" in the case and nothing else.  That statement alone does not mean that the OP cheated on the spouse.   If the thrust of your family law legal advice is "do not cheat on your spouse" then you should not expect anyone to pay any bill you send them.

The OP's complain was related to the exact problem you just demonstrated.  OP is paying for legal representation, not for some moron to offer their opinion on what happened during the marriage.

If you cannot separate your responsibility to defend your client from your judgements about the acts related to the issue they engaged you to help them with, then you have no business practicing law.[/quote]
