Need a strong lawyer in Lake County IL
My husband has filed to PAY child support in order to get established visitation and avoid drama. Well now she has been lying and got a restraining order against my husband AND I. She wants to request all kinds of paperwork, is pretty much prolonging everything instead of settling with an agreed amount and visitation schedule. Well the problem is my lawyer is a pushover and the only thing he is doing is forwarding us the papers her lawyer is requesting and sending. My question is, do you know of a strong and aggressive lawyer who is pro fathers in the Lake County Illinois area?

Question on BM being able to drag out the court hearings. ..
DH recently retained a lawer to finally get visitaion and establish child support since after 9 years BM has never set it and constantly tells him he is not allowed to see the child even though he still gives her a monthly check and pays for clothes every season and every other costs (medical, activities). She got served today and called hysterical and first said she would be willing to agree to the terms we asked for in visitaion as long as she wasn't mouthed (she has had another child removed by her other ex, reason unknown).
We asked her to file CS about 2 years ago. She hasnt yet!!!
DH sends BM a check to help with SS9 every 2 weeks and deposits at least $200 a month into SSs savings account. He volunteers to pay for any extra curricular activities he would like to do and also pays for new seasonal clothing. He has tried to establish CS on his own since she hasnt and he wants everything to be legally documented and on track. We have been asking her to but she always has some king of excuse not to, but then threatens to file when she gets mad. We dont understand her.
She says she is getting 1/6 of MY income!
I hope she takes 1/6 of my dirty dishes and laundry cause I'm a stay at home mom! LOL! She somehow found out I'm pregnant so BM calls DH to tell him she knows I'm pregnant and that she could take him to court for 1/6 of his income. He said go ahead, I've been telling you to file CS for years! Since he pays her more than that every 2 weeks anyways. Then she tells him that she'll ask for 1/6 of MY income as well. Good luck on that one sweetie! Well now that she knows we are happily pregnant she wants to rain on our parade but anyway she goes, we still win. BOOM!

BM requested DH as reference
DH gets a call asking if he was willing to be a reference for known-by-everyone-as-irresponsible BM!!! What is she thinking?!? Her car has been repoed due to her not paying and now she wants to take a loan and have DH approve to be a reference? And we are in no way whatsoever friendly mind you. Is it just me or is it still polite to ask before putting someone down as a ref or at least notifying that person to let them know what it is for. Her reasoning boggles my mind.

Fair amount for school supplies?
BM leaves DH a voice message asking if he is going to help with school supplies. I was just wondering what is a fair amount to add for school utilities and uniforms? He usually pays for extras by calling directly and paying over the phone with his card since we live out of state and dont trust her with extra money. Would you even consider helping after child support is given anyways? I think he should since its a pretty big once a year expense, just need help since Ive never had to make that kind of purchase. Thanks experienced moms for any help!

Pregnant and snappy with SS
Ive raised my SS since he was about 2.5 yo. His mother said she wasnt ready to be a mom, left, then a month later passed away from a motorcycle accident. We have been happy in our little family for 3 years. SS is very attatched to DH and Im grateful for that since I enjoy my quiet time, reading, cooking, bathing, whatever. DH and I have been TTC for about 2 years and we finally did it! I am 10 weeks pregnant and couldnt be happier. The only problem is that everything SS does bothers me. He walks into my room in the mornings, no hi or knock, asking for dad. I just tell him he is not here.

A little more money please?
My husband recieved a text last night, BM asking for a little bit more money to buy the kid pants and shoes cause all HER money went to pay for HER school. Excuse me but why is HER school our problem? Its not so she will keep getting the same amount she gets every other week for the kid. I try but cant seem to comprehend her logic.

BM: "He was mine first."
BMs go-to line is "You feel so special, he was with me first and everything he says to you, he has already told me." No maam! He learned what he was supposed to stay away from and the reason why he was with you is because you were easy. A young small-town boy getting what he could at the time. Then went out into the world and realized not all women were insecure, phycopathic, and controling. Oh and another, "He is MY babydaddy!" Ok. Keep claiming him like you still want him.
