Went to court this morning *looked pretty nice, I might say* and H was there with his L. I smiled and said hi. Waited for my L. In the courtroom everyone stood up to say how long their case would take. They were all 1-2 minutes (about 10 cases) and then H's L stood up and said ours would take 30. From that point, my L and I stepped out of courtroom to discuss our case/strategy and 2 minutes later, H appears with his L who advised us the judge will not hear our case today and has ordered it be heard on a different day. WTH. My L tells him this is incredible since they are the ones who filed the motion and for the D. H's L is very rude, btw. My L said something to him and he asked him if he was talking to him. Seriously. So our Ls went together to get a new court date and H was standing there and wouldn't look at me and had a very angry look on his face. I know that face so well. H's L keeps saying how this could all end if I just sign the house over to him. My L said it could all end if we reached a settlement.
My L said he thinks maybe when we walked out H's L said something to the judge and/or wasn't prepared and/or didn't think I'd show up and call his bluff and/or knew he would lose case (H wants me to pay half of the mortgage when he has a significantly higher income).
I was so nervous walking in there and my heart was palpitating really fast and my knees felt locked and I walked out of there wishing I were D'ed.
