More details to this question:
I hired a lawyer 8 hours away from me because the case has to be done where my daughter's mom lives but I send the lawyer money but he sent me a contract n stuff to sign but I haven't received anything from my lawyer and my daughter's mom hasn't received a summons or nothing yet.

Sometimes it takes longer than you think if the pawyer is backed up. When I take in a new case, I can't start working on it right away because I have cases from the weeks before that I haven't gotten to. If you have questions, call the lawyer's secretary and ask the status of filing of your matter. You are entitled to know. Good luck to you.
