QUESTION
Can I sue my attorney for malpractice? PART TWO
Asked on Jun 04th, 2020 on Legal Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
This burden should NEVER have been placed on my ex. Furthermore, my divorce decree stated the monies made from the eventual sale of the home would be split 70%/30% in my favor, which was to be for the entire security of my future. I am mentally disabled, suffering from Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am unable to work. These circumstances have only served to exacerbate my conditions as my present husband is right now unable to retire (he is almost 69) & things like future income/pension are totally unk. at this point. My share of the money from selling the home would have relieved us of all our possible future security woes. I would never have proceeded with the bankruptcy had the lawyer explained the potential problems involved because of my "attachment" to my former home. This has highly affected me & sadly for no fair reason, my ex has been made to suffer also. Please tell me I have some recourse. Thank you very much for your help.

Its impossible to determine if there was some malpractice event from your post nor how you were damaged. What IS clear is that you cannot sue for damages because someone else paid off your debt. Other than that you will need to HIRE a lawyer to review the entire transaction and see what actually occured and address it accordingly
