Hi,
My ex has put an offer on the table from his lawyer for property settlement and assets. He has left off many, many assets and refuses to be truthful with his debt. I don't have a lawyer as Legal Aid cannot help me, as the assets are worth more then their cut off point.
I am on my own basically. To be honest, I don't really understand why he's choosing to be dishonest. The only thing I can come up with is he doesn't want me to have a cent. I am not an unreasonable person and have been very patient with him. He claims to have a lot of debt but when I ask him to prove it to me, he declines and I am only asking as he constantly lies about being broke and I know he's not broke. Broke people don't go out and buy another truck, and broke people don't eat out 4 nights a week.
i am running out of time as 2 years is up in September. I don't want the house or any cars and the mere fact that he keeps reminding me that I left him and that his words are that I will always pay for doing that to him makes me believe and gives me no hope at all that he is going to be fair. I haven't even offered half and the amount I have requested is not a third. I don't want to see him broke or have nothing and as much as I dislike him, his still the father of our children.
There are 5 children. We only have a verbal arrangement as it was 50/50 for 6 months, but then he dropped them back and said it wasn't working for him and that the children were left on their own a lot as he is self-employed, so then we agreed every 2nd weekend and that has fallen by the way side 'cause my boys, who are 14-year-old twins and almost 16-year-old refuse to go. I have rung parentline. I have rung school counsellors and I am pulling my hair out.
My ex is blaming me like he always has in the 24 years of relationship and it's getting frustrating. My ex refuses to sign a parenting plan and doesn't want it to go to court. Do I go back to mediation as we tried 50/50 and it didn't work. Now that's his words not mine, and I can see it wasn't but I just supported my ex trying to do the best he can, and making sure he maintains a relationship with his children.
Thanks
