Never understood why people pay a lawyer to divorce unless you have an extremely complex financial situation (own multiple large businesses together worth tens of millions that you need to liquidate).

A lawyer cannot help you get more parenting time or pay less for alimony/child support unless you are in one of the few at fault states for divorce and you need to prove she was at fault. In every other state the judge awards automatic 50/50 custody unless you have a history of abuse, and alimony and child support are set by the state calculators based on both of your incomes. There is nothing to argue.

Geeze. Why has it been so expensive? And why so long? Who or what is causing the holdup?

Trial date. Set it. Now.

Set the case for trial at the earliest possible date. A looming trial is great incentive to settle.

Yes it got better for me when the kids got older and i was assured by the kids that they will not be staying less than 50% of the time. Once that realization happen, i put everyone on notice that they dont run the show. Even the court clerk was not happy with me ignoring the judges order recently to get a mental health eval for the kids. I let them know its not happening on my time and i am not paying for it as my kids refuse the court clerk circle jerk and escallations in court. My lying cheating stbx has had cps, cops and sherriffs here over a dozen times all unfounded all proven lies. After this i had enough. I told all these people not to destabilize my ability to provide any further. I have 5 kids here under my roof (blended family). They backed off. Child lawyer recused herself recently after i told her they are all sharks and destabilizing my kids well being. Not sure what the judge will say eventually but i really dont care. If they take away my ability to be a father and destabilize our lives further, the state will be providing support for 5 kids not I. Play chess not checkers
