I'm getting mad again and I don't want to!! It's been 14 months, it's dragged on long enough and he wants to keep dragging it on!
I got the appraisals and another proposal for splitting assets. It's a total joke. The appriasal had the wrong square footage, missing a bathroom and other info. They appraised our camp, but there was no square footage or pictures, just an amount written on the bottom stating what it's worth. It came in under what the town has us assessed at for taxes which is unheard of in our county. He wants me to walk away and leave him everything (a 2500+ sq foot house, 300 acres of land, camp, house contents, all his toys, etc) and he's going to give me $37,000 cash and my old beater of a car!! The land alone is worth a ton (we sold lots for between $3000 - $9000 an acre, and HIS appraisal says our land is only worth $500-$1000 an acre). This is a slap in my face. The court ordered this proposal because he has been dilly dallying for so long.....and now it will take longer because we will have to get an appraisal, etc. He has been hiding income from a real estate transaction, but we got proof yesterday from the person who bought it of all payments made to him since our seperation.
We have decided to get our appraisals done and just schedule a court date. I think it's going to be my best option. He makes 3 times what I do, I work 2 jobs and go to school so that I won't have to rely on him to support me an our kids. He has lied on court documents that are notarized (he left of assets on the forms we file with court that list our assets). I wasn't that bitter and angry, but I'm getting really close to it. I can't even afford an apartment on what I make (with his support) I have been living with my parents all this time. Even my lawyer is pissed as this is the 4th proposal and it's been taking so long....... 14 months is just crazy!!
I'm just so sick of this and him demeaning me with these crappy proposals (the emotional abuse when living with him was bad enough).
Anyone had experience with just going to court because the hubby won't split 50/50% like state law requires? Husbands lying on court documents and trying to hide income? My lawyer thinks I'll be able to get alimony too since I'm going to school (hubby wouldn't let me) so that I can get a better paying job, but I don't know.
Thanks!!

Your attorney probably has a pretty good feel for what will happen... and your EX is likely just tossing our stones because he knows how much he has to lose.
Hang in there!
