I'm tired of fighting for what is right for my son & getting smacked around by the ex-husband and the judge. Mediation was a joke. Sunday I took son's car away as punishment for being disrespectful to me. Just want to pay child support & walk away. I can't afford an attorney.

You cannot have a new Judge and you do need an attorney, especially if you are having anxiety attacks. Your attorney can advocate for you I’m different ways as well as bring legitimacy to your clams. It is very frustrating as a litigant with an attorney, much more so even if you are pro se.

Your lawyer is withdrawing from your case. The judge will grant that motion. You should find a new family lawyer to file the motion for you and proceed with him.

It is your decision what to ask for but you should hear your attorneys rationale for his current recommendations. Just because you can do something does not always mean you should do something. If you are not satisfied with his answers, get a second opinion.

Yes. You can begin drawing your share of his pension as soon as he retires and begins drawing his pension. You may be able to get a lump sum or monthly installments until you die, depending on what the pension plan allows.
