Your Lawyer Will Not Return Your Calls.


No one really wants to tell you what is going on and everyone in the office gives you an excuse. Lawyers are busy and here is what could be going on.

Lawyers have high aspirations to help others.


Your lawyer could be avoiding telling you the unpleasant truth. He/She may avoid you until they can figure a way to solve a problem in your case. This may take lots of research and they will call when they have a strategy, or the problem solved.

Your lawyer is working on a high-profile case.


You are not your lawyer’s only client, and your business alone will not pay your lawyer’s bills. Efficient clients who know how to get to the point and move on are more likely to get a return call.

Lawyers meet crucial deadlines.


The law has statutes of limitations and if they are missed it could be a grave mistake in the case. They spend hours researching and preparing each case.

They have lots of meetings.

Meetings with clients, interviewing witnesses, taking depositions, and new clients. Lawyers are not just sitting around talking like we think they are. 

There is nothing new happening.

Many cases have periods of intense activity and then little to no activity. If interrogatories are sent to the opposing party it takes about a month for answers. When discovery is done you are just waiting for trial and it can take months to get in front of a judge. If there is nothing to tell you, there is no reason to talk to you.

You ask the same questions over and over.

You don’t like the answers you received and no matter how many times something is explained to you, you ask the same question or change up the question. You hope the answer will change into something you want to hear. You are wasting your lawyers time and they can’t help you face reality

Teachers Silent About Child Suicide In Family Court Cases

A teacher messaged a divorce coach and stated, “Unless you are a teacher in _____, you would not know about the suicide by children caused by the family court.” Teachers who have children in their classroom and know of parents custody battle see the other parent obtain custody and then they hear of that child committing suicide. No one else is close to children that they could mentally track this happening. A mother's children went to a charter school when she went through a divorce. The parents did ride share with the neighbor. The neighbor eventually had to come to the mother to let her know that when it was the former spouses time to get the kids, he was not picking up her kids per the agreement everyone had. He would not get the children from school and would never notify her he was not getting the children. He would also go see the children at lunch and tell them he was going to get them after school and to not go with the rideshare mom. The school was getting ve...

Helping Kids Through A Divorce

As a single mom of three kids, I know money can be tight and I always Do It Yourself (DIY) before purchasing. So I added links to those projects if I could find them. You can also use these ideas for yourself ad remember if you can’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of your children. A burnout exhausted mom/dad is no fun. Aromatherapy is a great way to help relax. When my children would come home from the other parent they were wild. I had to let them sit in front of the television and watch movies until bedtime, just to get them to calm down. Now, I would have filled the entire house before they came home with lavender or vanilla . Bother of these scents are great for calming. I purchased one of those hearts that when you snap a metal tab it would heat up and turn to liquid. To get it back to a liquid state and to reuse you would boil it. My children loved when I put an oil on their back and then rubbed it with this heated object. My heart kept disappearing and I w...
