wishing, Please put on your business hat today and keep very calm. Do not go into that room showing you are upset or angry. You have to remain calm. Listen to your lawyer because he's going to be the one who will do the negotiating for you. You have to put all of your faith and trust in him. He will fight for you and he knows what your h is pulling. He's seen it before.
If your h wants the house, then negotiate. Don't just leave. He will need to buy you out and you want cash and you want the cash within 90 days. I bought my xh out of the house and that was the time limit I had to come up with the buyout money. Your lawyer may already have this in mind so it's something to keep in the back of your mind.
Lawyers that handle mlc cases know what is going on w/them and will rack up billable hours because there is a profit in it for them. I know the lawyer my xh had knew he was nuts, but she couldn't do anything w/him to listen to reason. No matter what, the lawyer that is being paid by a client will stand by them even if they are crazy or murdered someone. But that is not your issue today.
I will be thinking and praying for you today. I pray that your lawyer will pull the big guns out and will stand firm and protect you and your family any way that he can. AJ is right about one thing, no one is happy when the divorce and settlement are over, i.e., no one wins. So, aim high for what you want and negotiate, i.e., that's what his lawyer is doing.
Good luck today!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
