Mom is a stay at home mom who now works part-time for minimum wage. Has been taken care of children and home for over 7 years.
Dad makes 6-figure salary, left mom for ex-girl friend and now wants to take kids, house, and everything.
Mom's lawyer is non-profit lawyer and is encouraging mom to sign paper work giving kids to dad 1/2 time and would put her out of home in 1 year or give her lump sum of 9-10k to leave now with nothing else.
Mom has evidence of fathers abuse of her, neglect of kids, controlling manipulative nature toward her and kids, and shady dealings with other family members in the past. Also evidence that dad has tons of money. However lawyer is still pushing mom to sign papers and is not subpoenaing evidence or documents to support moms case and has advised mom that dad might take the kids and could win full custody.
This is very shady. The legal advice doesn't make sense. The fact that the lawyer won't build the case doesn't make sense. The court date is very soon. What can mom due? Is there away to prove or start investigation into the lawyer that the lawyer may be being bribed or influenced by the opposing spouse/counsel not to support the best interest of the client?
