The S2BX has been telling me there's things in the divorce papers he got 6 weeks ago that he doesn't agree with. Yet, every time I ask him what exactly he doesn't agree with, he starts ranting about everything under the sun except the divorce papers.  Saturday night, after he followed me home at 11:00p.m. just "so he could talk to me" I told him he needed to write down what exactly he had a problem with and I would look at it. Since he can't afford a lawyer, we are going to try to go through the same attorney, but in order to do that, we have to agree on everything. This is where the problem is. So, I told him that I would stop by his house the next morning after I was done w/church and Shelby was at Sunday School, and I would look at his list.  When I did, he handed me his copies of the papers, and ya know what the first thing underlined was?

"The defendant is an able-bodied person capable of contributing to the support and welfare of the minor child(ren) involved." What? He's not capable of going out and getting a job in order to pay child support for his daughter? He said he just didn't know what that meant.  I guess he needs a picture drawn in crayon.

 

He also has a problem with me filing for sole custody. Hmmmm....I'm employed, mentally stable, and have all the utilities and services functioning at my house. Him? Not so much on any of those counts.

 

He whines about how when he "talks to other people" that they tell him not to agree, because he is just getting screwed. The so-called "lawyers that he's talked to want him to get really nasty and drag me through the mud." I told him if that's what he wants then to bring it, because I could sure get down in the mud with him.  I think it's time to call the attorney and get the ball rollin' again. I kinda let it slide for a few weeks so we could get a bankruptcy filed. But, now that that's over it's time to proceed with the proceedings!

What a tough situation! But, it sounds like you are handling things very reasonably. I am proud of you for making sure your daughter doesn't witness the disagreements about the divorce papers. I've been there before...thought my divorce would never go through, but it did finally. Tell him to agree or get his own lawyer. It doesn't leave him a whole lot of choice in his current situation.

Having the same lawyer sounds tough. I hate lawyers, they always drag everything out & act so superior. Never met one I could stand.
Good luck!!

my sister and her xhubby#1 used the same lawyer and she got taken to the cleaners! The lawyer ( a man) GAVE my xbil no responsibilities and piddly to pay my sister for child support.
Your best bet is to get a very well versed WOMAN lawyer.
My friend had one and she got a better representation.
DO NOT SHARE YOUR LAWYER--conflict of interest.
ok,,, down from soapbox
