I am meeting with my lawyer today to explain to him these situations and I would like to know if you could write me a letter for my lawyer stating all of this because sometimes I feel there's a language barrier I speak Spanish and he speaks English I speak some English but it's just difficult sometimes and I feel like I said that he is not my lawyer helping me with much. I just need a letter to present to him stating all these issues and see what he can do immediately to save me and my business before it's too late
****, I can certainly help you outline a letter for your lawyer. Here's a concise version:

Feel free to adjust as necessary. Good luck with your meeting!
Is there any kind of motion that my lawyer can file with the court or any other options that he can provide me with that way some of the liens that she has put on these non-communal properties can be lifted or some kind of motion that he can file in an emergency situation where I am struggling financially to just survive
****, here are some legal actions your lawyer might consider:
- Motion to Remove Liens: File a motion to lift liens on non-community property, arguing they were improperly placed.
- Emergency Motion for Financial Relief: Request an emergency hearing for temporary financial relief due to undue hardship.
- Motion to Expedite Proceedings: File to expedite the divorce process due to financial emergency.
Would you like more details on any of these motions?
