I do not understand and am frustrated, angry, and confused all in one.
I am at odds with my lawyer and am trying to bite my tongue until I get this thing done with.
He seems to put everything off till the bitter last minute and it is really affecting me.
He called a meeting weeks ago with me, to file. Told me it was going to be a very long meeting and no kids were allowed. We have no one to watch our young daughter, so we put her into a daycare for the day $75 bucks! HELLO we are filing BK we don't really have an extra $75 laying around...does my lawyer forget that.
Okay so we wait for 30 minutes in the lobby, then he brings us in his office and states that he needs us to sign a few papers (3-4, maybe 5) and that he is going to file a skeletal chapter 13 FYI WE ARE A 7. He said we will have to come back in a few weeks to convert it to a 7 and that then that meeting would be very long. No kids allowed. There is no way in hell we can pay for drop in care again.
He is not missing a single document from us, he has had all of our info for months.
When I told him we wouldn't be able to get care for our child he was upset. I asked him why we couldn't file today and he just said that he wanted to just file an emergency skeletal 13 and then convert it. He said that people do it all the time, or that he does it all the time.
ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THIS?
I have done some research and found that this is done when people need to file to put a stay on something but need more time to gather documents. We do not need stays put on anything, and we have every single piece of potential document one could ever ask for!
I could just cry, scream, something. Help me please
Any input greatly appreciated.
oh and p.s. so I paid $75 bucks today for something that I could have easily brought my little one to. Aside from sitting in the lobby we were in his office 5 minutes. gggrrr
