Where do...I...go from here?

[tpaschal]

Went to court yesterday. L quit. Was friendly to me, but wouldn't even consider staying on the case. Probably just as well, as I saw once again yesterday how many details L has let fall through the cracks.

But hiring someone else will be a huge money problem.

All the motions that were supposed to be heard before the court yesterday have been postponed, but one thing that was supposed to be heard was a motion for H to have to pay my interim attorney's fees. Well, if the motion wasn't heard because I have no lawyer, then how can I get money to hire a lawyer to plead the motion? It's a Catch-22.

Found one guy (through a friend--I can't thank her enough) who will probably go with me to have that motion heard in a few weeks, then if I get the money I can pay him for his services that day and then decide if I want to hire him full time or go with someone else.

Need to make a lot of phone calls.

H's L did try to ask that the final court date (August 4) not be postponed even though I need to find a new lawyer. Judge would not rule on that, thank you, God!

Afterwards H and I were parked near each other and walked together to the parking lot. H got pissy, saying I had just cost him another $2000 because he didn't need to take off work to be there, and his lawyer hadn't even needed to come if everything was just going to be postponed. Ranted a little that this should have been done and finished 6 months ago.

Got to run for now. Will update the rest in a bit.

Anyone know any good lawyers in Texas? <sigh>
