Hired Attorney

He dumped me in the middle of my case by ghosting me. There was no explanation and return of phone calls or emails. He did the divorce yet we had the settlement to do. I had to hire a new attorney. My ex's family worked in the Marshall County Courthouse. Tried changing venue however was denied. It was obvious from beginning the whole system was corrupted. I found documents it was. Ex's brother's wife was the tax accessor. SI nohe lowered our house tax by $20,000 with no reason. This devalued our house. Judge Shore denied me the right of an appraisal. What did tax accessor get for lowering taxes? Ex took his name off brother's house and brother's wife, the tax accessor, name was put on it. The brothers were partners in farming. During marriage I co-signed on a million dollar loan on the brothers farm to keep it out of bankruptcy. This co-mingled the farm property, however I did not receive 1 cent from farm rental. I received $15k for our house. He got paid off house. So much more done..
