QUESTION
If I did not contend the temporary guardianship at trial because I was not happy with my lawyer can I appeal?
Asked on Jul 08th, 2014 on Child Custody - Washington
More details to this question:
I asked my lawyer to let the court know that I would not contest a temporary guardianship 3 months prior to trial because I was suffering from PTSD further aggravated by my family court case and anxiety and depression. I was not mentally prepared to go to trial and my lawyer never even prepared a case. He waited until the trial to say we were not contesting and my sister's lawyer presented their case which was filled with incorrect information which I would have contested had I known the judge was going to hear the CASR, I would have brought proof to dispute their case. My lawyer did nothing that I asked him to do and I wanted to fire him, but there was not enough time before the trial. How can I appeal?

You can't appeal because appeals are about errors the court has made, not your failure to appropriately make a case. You don't say whose guardianship you are talking about. Without that, I don't know what measures are open to you.
