A: Go and talk to another attorney about your situation. Show them your divorce papers and explain why you think that your attorney didn't do a good job of representing you and get a second opinion. It may be that your attorney did an excellent job but there wasn't really a way to make you completely happy because the other possible outcomes might not have been better for you. Sometimes clients just don't understand that an attorney is supposed to help you understand what the law and a Judge is likely to order and they may recommend that you accept an offer that will be less risky and less expensive for you given all the risks. You may just need to hear this from another attorney. Of course it is possible that you had a bad or inexperienced attorney. Maybe the second attorney will be able to fix things for you.
