I feel like my atty is wanting me to accept the 2nd settlement offer...I have yet to even SEE the Discovery he sent via CD where she noted 3 bank accounts, Victoria's Secret lingerie, Coach, Jucie Couture, etc.
Could be gifts for new OW/OM.
With Bi-Perv, anything goes.
I need to see this Discovery and would appreciate any advise on how to counter offer STBX settlement offer.
Not feeling like my atty really has my back here.
I've asked her what my legal bills are and other pertinent info in several e-mails now but she does not answer ALL of my questions!
Is this the norm? Is she just lazy?
And I know there is a way spousal support can be worded so it does not become a yearly tax issue/liability for me.
(I saw it on here some time ago but cannot recall how this was worded so if any one remembers that post, please being it to my attention as I'm a pretzel.
And how long does one have to counter offer time-wise? The Judge wants us back in court with a settlement agreement end of next month or he he will set it aside "for trial".
And he is relatively new as a D Judge, too.
My attorney keeps telling me The Judge would NOT go for a lump sum settlement (2 years spousal support) but my main concern is that he and the new "honey" will skip out of the country leaving me holding the bag with respect to STBX paying any future spousal support and I am wondering why this particular amount cannot be *frozen* for the 2 year period time frame involved. She's been very discouraging about a cash lump spousal support payout or some of his assets being frozen to protect me as his word is utter crap even though she agrees that "he does have a lot of $$$ that he is hiding".
I hate to say this but I sometimes wonder exactly whose side she is on:
Me or Mr. Moneybags NPD F*cker?!
