When my wife filed divorce on me the first time it took 1 month from filing to when we were in court to get her child support. Her attorney was aggressive in that respect. Heather is one year in now an facing her first court appearance? I find this troubling for Heather.
I think from what you have written that she may be stuck going to court this time. My suggestion would be that she instruct her attorney to only focus on the child support at this time and that any other work will not be paid for. Go to court and see how her attorney performs for her. I would not spend much more time with this attorney if he does not do a stellar performance in court. My guess is he will be a dud and she will probably loose ground. I hope not, but I have a gut feeling.
