Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Attorney dismissal during non-jury divorce trail
Our marriage lasted for little over 2 years and we don't have any children. During the temporary relief order, the judge ordered me to pay $450 a week to my wife, although I make $800 a week. I have a marital credit card debt of $30,000 and I have to make monthly credit payment of $1300.
First month, I did not pay the spousal support and I was sent to Jail for a few hours until I paid with my friend's credit card. Why did the Judge ordered more than half of my salary to my wife? I am going thru very hardship.
After 5 months with 7 court hearings to reduce the spousal support, I realized that my attorney is not going to defend me at the non-jury trail scheduled to be held within a week. At this stage, I don't want to change my attorney, because this case will drag on for months. I already changed the attorney once. I understand that the non-jury trail in the divorce case lasts for maximum 30 minutes and each side is given maximum 15 minutes. Is it true? My last question is can I dismiss my attorney during the non-jury trail or just before the final judgment rendered?

Re: Attorney dismissal during non-jury divorce trail
The question is, why are you consistently dissatisfied with your attorneys? Something is not adding up. Perhaps you are leaving out some pertinent facts? Bill Stern
