A: It sounds like you’re feeling frustrated with your current lawyers and the way they’ve handled your case. If your attorney is not representing you properly or is being disrespectful by telling you to "shut up," that is a serious issue. You have the right to have an attorney who listens to your concerns and accurately represents your interests in court.

If you believe your lawyer lied to the judge on your behalf, you might want to address this issue as soon as possible. You could request a new attorney, file a complaint, or consider representing yourself if needed. It’s important that you feel confident and supported by your legal representation, especially when it comes to matters involving your children.

You can take immediate steps by gathering evidence of what happened and documenting everything clearly. If necessary, contact the court to explain your concerns and seek advice on how to move forward. Your voice in this situation matters, and there are options to ensure you're heard.
