my divorce was final 1 yr ago - my attorney had originally told me $1000 for the divorce but in the end charged me $2250 which is still cheap i guess. my ex was ordered to sell the house, pay it off and pay off another mortgage we had on a diff property, and pay me my half of the settlement - the prob is he paid off the house and paid me but did not pay off the other property, has not made a payment on the property since Jan. 07 and it is now ready for forclosure this is really hurting my credit. when i contacted my attorney he said he wanted another $500 to pursue this - wasnt it his job to make sure this was all taken care of in the first place? I was also court ordered to pick up furniture and some personal belongings but when i went to get them ex gave me a rough time and wouldnt let me in the house i asked the attorney to pursue this also and he said he didnt want to b bothered with petty stuff!! what are my rights and can i pursue this on my own and how? I live in PA

i did call the police when i couldnt ge my stuff and he was ignorant with them and still wouldnt let me get my stuff - the police told me to call my lawyer (lol) I already paid for my half of the property but have no idea where the money went because he was supposed to have paid it off and didnt - i live in a very small town and all the police, lawyers, etc are all buddy buddy so trying to accomplish anything is hardly worth it - i did call an out of town attorney but they wanted a $7500 retainer just to get started!!
