PLEASE read,I really need advice!Is it really malpractice?

Postby doran » Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:56 pm

My husbands divorce attorney can no longer represent him because she made a mistake (according to him) in my favor, with our final divorce judgment, which has been signed,by me, him, and judge. His original attorney wrote our prenup 7 years ago. I guess everyone involved failed to realize a certain sentence that said "less" or deduct rather than "in addition to" so my settlement is more than he wants to pay. He says he is only paying what the pre-nup states he has to. Well he has already added more than that with extras like health insurance as well as an extra $20,000 to get me to sign faster. Now his attorneys insurance company is paying for a new attorney to represent him in filing a motion to set aside the paragraph. Now I have to pay even more attorney fees..does anyone have any expertise on this kind of situation? I have posted this question a few different ways with hardly any answers. any help would be wonderful. Is his new attorney just looking into this to see whether insurance will pay for his original attnys mistake? Or will they remove it from the judgment? How can I fight this?
Thank you in advance---

what is your lawyer saying to this. this document was signed by 3 people and the judge most of all so i think that is legally binding but i am not a lawyer in my divorce what was written is what is to be done weather we had err or not. so his attorney wants to clean up their mess you need to state he has to pay your legal fees if he wants this to continue

If it's a mistake, why don't you want to correct it?
