Seeking advice on Divorce completion?

I got a divorce. It went to trial. The judgement has been issued. her lawyer is not following through on the judges request that she draw up the divorce decree to be signed into law. My lawyer is saying he will not do anything about it until he is paid current and I owe him about 5K that I don't have...at least until I can yank money out of retirement funds that are frozen until the divorce is complete.





I should mention that I already have paid him 12K+ through this process including the 5K retainer fee... He keeps telling me that he wont do anything until paid up current





What are my options at this point? A dismissal date has now been put in place by the judge.Seeking advice on Divorce completion?
You could try hiring a new lawyer to complete the divorce for you. This won't relieve you of your responsibility to pay your current lawyer the money you owe him. But it will get the divorce moving again.
