I got way more involved when the lawyer decided to not help anymore. They had an agreement about payment and all that, but the lawyer decided that he wanted money. After two weeks of telling us things that didn't happen, he wanted paid.
I try to say no, but if I didn't help, no one else would have. I would never want to be in that position.
I guess I am just too soft-hearted for my own good.

OK, you're a softy, but not stupid. You've thinking, using your head, got a plan.
That's not the same as leading with your heart, and blindly thrashing about like a pinball. Good for you!
Being a "girlfriend" carries no weight with the "public servants" (oxymoron). I'm pretty sure there are actually legal restrictions on the judge about discussing his case with you.
Quite often prisoner release is delayed for no discernible reason other than they didn't get to it. Could be some clerk's on vacation. What's he going to do, say, "You didn't release me on time, so I'm staying...I won't go."?
You can inquire and remind them, but they call the shots, so don't let it make you nuts. You've got more important things to make you nuts.
Good luck and keep us posted on your mental health....ok?
