LOL nice job taking your power back ((pushka)). Just an FYI from personal experience, I was also taken aback by the behavior of those in professions I thought I could rely upon for ethics, reliability and honesty. My divorce really educated me with a hard lesson. I fired my first atty. too. I think my eye is alot sharper these days even in crisis situations for discerning whose competency and character is trustworthy. I guess that's the reward of making mistakes. I realize this likely feels like small compensation right now for you but you may appreciate it in the future. Keep your chin up. Judges get impatient. If your ex continues to stonewall, the judge may urge the attorneys to push it along. Hopefully, this will be done for you soon and with a good outcome. Hugs. TT
