Question

[ClingingToHope]

You and me both. I got an email from my L that STBXW and her lawyer didn't like our counter offer. So now there is a pre-trial conference set for next week and likely a trial date after that.

I did not in a million years want to get dressed up in a suit and a tie and sit across from the person I promised to love, honor and cherish to end our marriage.

Are you living in a dream world? Perhaps. I feel everything I've proposed is fair, but we're heading to court. Most likely it's because her attorney is telling her she can do better at trial than by settling. Once attorneys are involved "fairness" goes out the window.
