[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently read my partner's divorce papers and it's crazy how many things his lawyer overlooked or just plain did wrong. Some of the mistakes were in his favor, so that is a relief. But I knew from the few things he'd told me about what he's paying in alimony that his lawyer merely processed the decisions made instead of trying to negotiate for the best deal possible. So, leaving out this language doesn't surprise me a bit.[/quote]

For better or for worse, sometimes divorce lawyers just do what their clients want, which is usually not “extract the best deal possible” especially with kids involved or say a SAHW with no way to support herself right away. It’s also an overall negotiation. Like if you looked at my agreement you might think I got a bad deal but I did it consciously to reduce legal fees and get really important concessions on custody. OTOH OP’s attorney possibly could have done more to make sure an unreliable counterparty actually carried through on the judgment. But OP also did herself no favors by waiving the 6 month deadline. And as a PP pointed out if the agreement does not clearly establish how the home equity and debt is distributed, that is not good at all. [/quote]
