Do you have counsel representing you at this time?

Good afternoon, I am following up on this question. I can not give you a complete answer without more information.

OK, can you clarify what your question is? It would appear that both parties are represented and are in the normal course of dealing. He can make allegations all he wants but he needs to prove those allegations in court.

Hi there, you cannot enforce an agreement dealing with marital properties when the parties did not have an opportunity to engage legal counsel. What likely has happened is that he spoke to a lawyer, who advised him of his rights, and is now refusing to provide an agreement that is overly benefitial to you.

This is a negotiation stage, either party can ask for whatever they want. If you do not like the way he is negotiating, you are welcome to refuse it. However, it will go to court for a judge to decide.

It may take a while for it to come through, but regardless of what it says, during negotiations, they can really ask for anything.

So is the only thing outstanding custody?

Again, this is negotiations, and both of you are represented, it is wholly dependend on what the parties are willing to compromise on.

The judge will likely not enforce an agreement when the parties did not have independent legal advice, espeically an agreement for marital seperation.

Take it to your lawyer for review, but I do not think that first document is enforceable.

No problem! Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Then all of these negotiations will start over.

If you no longer want to do a joint divorce, that is fine, it will just be moved to a contested divorce.

Yes, of course, it would take significantly longer and it is way more expensive than a joint divorce.

No, the judge will make a decision and force that upon you via an order.

The judge is not going to allow you to negotiate forever, they will ask the parties to present their evidence and make an order as they deem to be fair.

Depends on if this legal aid lawyer will continue on.

You may not be eligible for another legal aid lawyer in this case, you should double check with them to find out.

Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Yes, what is your question?

Sure.

You should speak with your lawyer to assist you, you cannot bind him to a lease. He has no obligation to continue paying for it at this time (obviously a spousal support order may change that).
