Ellie is spot on. Heather, please remember that your employer is that-your employer. Life happens and most get that. However, you are starting a new gig and want to give a positive impression in every sense of the word. Don't make yourself seem *difficult* from the get go. Your atty? They are providing a service and expect payment. I know you are struggling financially, however that is the reality.
