Court went badly today. My attorney stinks. She said that the court commissioner we were in front of today was very old fashioned and since W's side was going to bring-up the pornography issue, she thought it was in our best interest not to argue the case in the temporary order, but to wait for the final hearing.
W;s side had their numbers put together, and so did I, but my atty did not seem very organized and I was pressured to make a decision very quickly. I went with her recommendation which results in me getting only 43% of our combined income, while W gets 57% so that she can afford to make the payments on the house. My attorney says that this was her mistake and she will file for a correction, but I doubt that will go anywhere.
I have to be out of the house by 9/1.
The bonus I just got has to go into a trust fund to pay the marital debts, except for $1500 that I get for the vacation. $1100 to rent the cabin and $400 spending money.
My attorney says all of this will change in the final hearing, but how long will it be until then? Plus, no requirement for W to go back to work full-time at this point.
My atty likes the actual judge in the case and thinks we will have a much better result then. Do I stick with her? She has a big name in my town, but I'm not sure she is quite enough on the ball. I feel that she got beaten badly by W's attorney today.
