Hi Everyone,
I have a family law trial pending (3 months away). All avenues to settle have been used with no result. Out of the blue my ex yesterday made an attempt to settle. I feel that he fears the trial (cost or evidence - not sure), so I think that I have some room to negotiate. However when I shot back my attempt at negotiation the response was that's the offer take it or leave it.
My question here is, 3 months out from trial an offer is made, what would be the reasoning behind this and how much is this in my favour?
I've not responded again to the take it or leave it, so want to be very careful how I play this card. I"m a SRL.
