[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My lawyer advises against the continuance. Her reasons? We risk the court resetting all the deadlines in the order- which prejudices us as we have already met deadlines and filed everything, so she has our exhibits and would be able to file things she missed before. I caught W hiding assets. Continuance might allow her to move them. I am happy to settle out of court, but W needs to come to the table. She doesn't like an equitable distribution of assets, where she would receive about $1.7 million and I would receive $1.3 million. She keeps the marital residence. I keep a jointly owned marital property. We each hold our retirements. So, no, not a SAHM being left high and dry. Adultery and other factors mitigate against her. I feel I am being fair and generous, and can easily see a judge approving this. W wants more than a 60/40 split, where she gets half of my retirement and keeps hers, as well as half equity in the marital residence and half equity in the investment property—not going to wash. I told my D that I am protecting everyone's interests. [/quote] Why didn't she hire an attorney? What would she file that would harm you? How much would it cost you in legal fees to agree to a continuance? You aren't "protecting everyone's interests," you are protecting your interests, which is fine, but don't lie to your daughter, as it's not a foundation for a good relationship in the future. Nothing about the timing of your divorce proceedings protects your daughter's interests, and it sounds like proceeding without a continuance harms your wife's interests, or at least she indeed perceives that it does.
