You don't understand how the game is played. Now you counter. The more you both haggle the more the attorneys are involved (in case you didn't know they get paid by the hour not the case) and the longer it goes on. To reach the middle they start on the edge.
yes, i understand that is how the game is played. every minute i speak to the l costs me money for a d i never asked for. my counter is: i own the jewellery, it is non-negotiable. skip mediation, go straight to court. i have given up too much of the household goods because i had faith in my l.

learn the rules of this game, it's a legal negotiation. When emotions get involved is when it gets stupid. You are no where near detached enough. Your anger is still a hindrance to you. Work on it.
i have learned the rules and the law. which is why this is very stupid. his l is really the one who is holding everything up. i submitted everything i had, including proof. his financial statement came with almost no proof for any of his claims. so that means WE have to send a formal note asking for proof on his claims. AND his stupid l allowed things like jewellery and rings to be included on his statement when CLEARLY the law says those belong to me. his l is obvious seeing a guy acting on emotion and is taking advantage of his client.
the first thing my l said to me was to stop thinking with the heart, and starting thinking with the brain.
the ridiculous claims that h has made is making me lose faith in the system. i held back, bit my tongue, and gave up stuff because i figure the system would protect me. i don't know if i can trust the system any more.
