[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there are no kids involved?

Your ex is trying to give you as little money as possible - he doesn’t want to settle. This prolonged legal process is going to be stressful for you but you unfortunately can’t really stop it. When someone is taking the most aggressive stance you cannot resolve things through the tools that you hear about in less high conflict cases (mediation, settlement).

I would consult with your lawyer to understand what their plans are and how they see this unfolding, and better understand their strategy. If you have no urgent issues you need taken care of, then sitting tight and letting your ex run up his own legal bills may be all you can do.

Then do a lot of self-care to work on patience. You are likely to come out of this with an equitable if not advantageous settlement.

Your STBX though he was going to leave you and magically divorce with no hassle. No doubt he has convinced himself that he was justified in cheating and filing for divorce, and is now justifying to himself that you deserve nothing. Judges aren't stupid. The fact that a business valuation has been ordered without you asking for it is an indication that the judge is already onto your ex. At this point, I'd hold out for a better settlement while also telling your attorney to prepare for trial, that you don't want to be the party delaying.[/quote]

The judge might also be onto the stbx’s lawyer as being a slime bag hired by men trying to hide assets. In any event the judge proactively ordering forensic accounting seems like a good sign about this judge. OP it sounds like you did a lot of due diligence hiring your lawyer. Your ex has a personality problem but you already knew that right? [/quote]
