go see a lawyer NOW sm

I wouldn't wait any longer.  When did you give her this ultimatum?  Today is Wednesday.  I would see a lawyer ASAP or call the police and file charges against her NOW.  IMO.  Like others said that's giving her time to file bankruptcy.  I doubt that she has $16,000.  Writing bad checks is a crime.  I live in Ohio and we just had an ex-football player convicted of writing a bad check for a car and that was just for $13,000.

...if those were indeed his words that they were letting you go because of "your age" that is BLATANTLY age discrimination.  I believe the last time I checked that was not legal.  Hey, maybe someday you would OWN THEM! 

I need some thoughts as to what to do with this, if anything.  I filed for divorce this January....or so I thought.  I paid my lawyer (who might I first say is reputable in this town) the money and was expecting him to get the ball rolling.  In March or April or so, I get papers from my ex-husband, saying HE's sueing ME for divorce.  So, I call up my lawyer and ask why I hadn't filed first.  He'd apparently set the case aside and forgot about me, and those were almost his exact words.  So, I let that drop because I needed someone to represent me.  When I first filed the papers, I MADE SURE I told him I wanted my ex's name off the car title, because he likes to take the title down to the pawn shop.  So, I mentioned that then, then I was worried about it again sometime over the course of these months and called to rediscuss it with him, then, right before the hearing, I made sure that he remembered about it.  Fine, no problem.  This took place in July.  Since I still hadn't gotten a divorce decree, I took myself down to the courthouse and had to purchase myself a copy (yet another thing the lawyer didn't do), and lo and behold, the car isn't listed.  I know as a fact we discussed this, because each time, I had to go out and get the VIN # off the car.  I can't get his name off without it being in the decree or having him sign off, which he won't do.

I checked BBB, and the company isn't on there, but neither can I find any of the attorneys in my hometown.  Like I said, he's very well known around town, and it's a small town, so you know just about everybody.  I had to take out a loan to get the divorce going in the first place and while I think I'd like to ask for my money back and deserve it, I know I won't get it. 

Anybody have any ideas?  Should I report him to SOMEONE?  Should I keep pestering him until I have what I want?  Or should I just forget it and move on?

Please don't send this to the gab board as this pertains to US, the US MQ employees:

I've read here before about some MTs who work for RNs transcribing their notes for medical malpractice lawyers, particularly in So Cal.  If anyone out there can give me more info such as need, what to charge, how to find, etc, I would be so grateful---I'm an MT/editor/quality auditor with 10 years' experience needing to make more money out of my skills.

Thanks!
