What is the name of your state?Illinois
I applied and was accepted for legal aid, to collect maintenance arrears from ex spouse. After being divorced 4 1/2 yrs, today I found out that I am NOT divorced as the original atty failed to complete the job he was paid for. Is there a malpractice issue here? This case has now been removed from legal aid status because of the complications that have risen. Also, the original atty failed to notify retirement that I am entitled to % of his retirement. I can no longer pursue the mainteneance issue until this is cleared up. Any ideas about this continually bizarre situation? Thanks
