How about a new attorney that will take action on your behalf. If this
is court mandated then her refusal should be contempt of some sort.

Just how long will he wait before pursuing some other option?
I don't know what the other options are, but seems like to me that
there has to be a better one than just waiting on the other attorney to
answer (which he probably never will).

Yeah but it sounds like you are getting nowhere with the attorney you
currently have.

The Judge ordered the house sold 1 month at the only offer, her best
friend offered the exact amount we paid for it. I get zero dollars, and
her friend get the house at 150K less than equity.
Recommend, make an offer on the house before her friends do.
I'm sure the judge will figure out a way to fuck you over. The judge
said I couldnt have the house because I didnt have a income for a
month, but was able to pay child support.
So, now I'm stuck with over 100K in legal bills, community debt, and no
money from the house sale. Men sure do get fucked in court.
I hand my sons 10 dollars, say "your married, give me 5 bux back", Then
I say give me the last 5, ok your divorce now. I hope to god my sons
don't have to suffer the same as me...

It would seem that the court would eventually enforce its own order.
If the original court will not, can you take it to a higher court in
the U.K.?

Backpack,
Just don't do what we did when we hired an attorney for a civil (non-
divorce) matter. His philosophy was to "kill them with kindness". By
"them", he meant the opposing attorney and client. Needless to say,
that was a lousy plan.
