Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hello, I have been trying to find someone to help for some time now but everywhere I have called has been unsuccessful. After my divorce of fifteen + years, that was filed in 98.(in the state of Ill.) I'm finding that things were not filed the way I was led to believe. I have several copys of divorce papers that I thought were the final ones but while I was trying to get answers why things wernt done as I requested I discovered the final papers were never sent to me. The ones I got were diffrent than the ones I had and there were blank spaces that were then filled in later with a pen,the final papers were very vauge and the most important things wernt in the final divorce decree. I never agreed to the terms in these papers and I never signed them either. I was suspossed to continue to get the pension payment in the event of the death of my ex-husband and the home we owned was to be sold and the money split between us. I just found out that in the event of my ex's death I wont get the pension when I contacted the pension office when I recived papers to start getting the pension finally after almost 6 months of no spousal support and they then said I would have to appeal. Every place I have contacted say I need to have a Attorney from Illinois and I have no way to get to Illinois much less the money to hire another Attorney. I'm 67,I have CMT, it is progressive and I'm in Wheel Chair. I don't drive and now live in Minnesota. My Attorney is very intimidating and frightens me, I'm to afraid to contact him after he yelled at me saying (Look At Your Divorce Papers)and calling me helpless the last time I talked to him. I'm getting a small check from S.S. and I'm also getting the pension check for the time being. I don't know how to go about starting the appeal process and I so desperately need help with that...There were other things as I said that were not followed through with but this is the most worrisome for me as I wont have much of anything to live on if I don't do something. I don't have any savings but will gladly pay for your services if you can except monthly payments. I hope you can and are willing to help me, I will be forever grateful. Thank You, Geri Logan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
