What can my daughter do. Her husband(ex-now), petitioned her for divorce and it was final 2 weeks ago. I picked up the bill for her, until I received the last statement from her attorney. I was shocked. The bill more than doubled. Her husband's (ex) was half the cost and he petitioned. He also dealt directly with his attorney on ALL matters. My daughter was almost always directed to her attorneys paralegal. So how can his bill be less than half of hers. I feel she is being railroaded. She has a deadline according to her attorney's paralegal , of Jan. 31st, but yet has received a final bill according to the paralegal. What else could they possibly charge for? The divorce was final 2 weeks ago, and her husband (ex) paid the court costs. Also, what can an attorney legally charge for? Every phone call, every email, etc. etc.? What warrants a complaint to the Tennessee Bar Assoc.
