Re: divorce

Why were you in court- is the divorce contested? Under the rules, you are entitled to a bill every sixty days.

Re: divorce

You may want to contest the attorney's fees through arbitration or a trial de novo. Under the law you are entitled to a bill every 60 days. Why did she keep on paying without a written statement?

If you would like contact my firm and we can discuss this matter further.
