re: Collecting child support: Hire lawyer to set up or go with La. Social Services?

Because my ex hired this new lawyer who is connected to the judge, I'm thinking I need to stick with my attorney.

My goal was to have him file for support, get that up and running, and then downshift to cheaper counsel for nuts-and-bolts followup in the years ahead.

I've paid my lawyer an arm and a leg -- the case stretched on for 2 years before it went to trial.
More extended litigation with him is doable but painful.

I need this bitch's support, because unfortunately I'm looking at likely Catholic high school tuition in a few years. Public is out of the question, and the few charters are looking out of reach.
