youre lucky, our retainer was 4000. 50 a pop for piss tests because mommie likes to cry alcoholic, 25 per class for one 16 week class and one 6 week class. she was supposed to take them too but she clarly fudged it as she presented a certificaten for the 16 week class 3 weeks later. when husband finished the class, he had some sort of report to submit. nothing was done. buts its ok, she lost in the end.
Same here, plus a $1500 retainer. This is for a child custody case, as we had to jump through every imaginable hoop in order to obtain legal custody of my stepson, even after he had lived with us for over a year, his mother in another state, still redeeming state benefits on his behalf, and still having child support taken out of my husband's check. Interstate custody battles are a mess! Regarding legal aid, I can attest to this being nearly impossible and taking forever! In our state (MO), we got placed on a waiting list for legal aid August 2014 when we filed for legal custody and needed assistance wilth the whole custody mess. We are still on the list, and $6,000+ later, the matter is nearly resolved.
