Any input at this point is so much appreciated. I'm doing my best to pull this stuff together. I emailed my attn this morning and said I would have it ready for her by Monday.
This was her reply:
"Monday should be fine. If you can drop everything off in the morning, I should have time to get it copied and sent to (H's atty). She called me earlier this week and told me she should have (H's) discovery to me the beginning of the week, as well. (The judge's) Judicial Assistant contacted me, and the Court needs to reschedule the temporary support hearing. I am working with (H's atty) to find another date. The Judicial Assistant gave me some alternate dates, but (H's atty) picked the very last one, so I have asked her to look at her calendar again because that is too far out for a temporary support hearing. The date she agreed to was 5/26, but I don't want it out that far. I do hope that we will settle in mediation and not need the hearing.
She also said that (H) has proposed an immediate division of his retirement account by QDRO to free up some cash for you. If we did that, you would be able to withdraw from the retirement account with no penalty at the time it is divided, and only have to pay taxes. There are pros and cons to this proposal, so we need to discuss those in more detail before you and I can decide whether or not to agree to that. You and I also need to meet to prepare for mediation. I can meet with you on Tuesday at either 11:00 or 1:00. Which is better for you?"
Thanks for reading and any comments, opinions would be so greatly appreciated!
