Failed By Attorney In Custody Case
I just lost custody of my daughters after my daughter’s father filed for custody. I presented all evidence to show how father is unfit to my attorney, as did the her father against me. My lawyers used non of it. Making my daughters father appear as a saint and I negligent.
However the major deciding factor on the judges part were statements from my daughter’s school during kindergarten. Dcfs came to my house and did not find any findings and the case was closed. However I’m wondering how a schools statements can be held in higher regard to Dcfs when the reports were found to be false.
Moreover when I told my attorney that I could get statements from a nurse saying their was no neglect or malnutrition during that year, my lawyer told me not to worry about any of it as it was older reportings. But as it turns out it was the major thing that made me lose custody.
I owe my lawyer quite a lot of money now and feel he misrepresented my case. I don’t know what to do.
