Attorneys are people, and everyone makes mistakes. There are occasions where bills for costs come in after representation has ceased; for example, an additional bill for reporter costs for a deposition, etc. The action is not unlawful, but any additional requests for money should spell out the exact nature of the mistake and the amount at issue. The amount of time between the end of your representation and return of the retainer is concerning. If you dispute the bill, call your local bar association and inquire about their fee arbitration program.

Is it true that I can't get the house if it's in my name but my husband helped me with the down payment and the loan?

Divorce lawyer at Sturniolo & Associates
The court will look at the total circumstances concerning the purchase of the condo. If it is in your name and purchased before the marriage, there is a presumption that it is your separate property. But the court will look at the equity in his down payment. He is wrong about his priority in taking the home. You will need an attorney to handle this issue.

Is there a time limit where abandonment and divorce can be filed if the spouse left and what rights do I have if everything is in his name?

See an attorney so that money and assets aren't moved or disappear. As everything's in his name, he can do what he wants unless you stop him. Don't wait to file for divorce.
