Tori,

Thanks for your sending this through.

Stbx insisted on court because I would not agree to his settlement offer.

He wrote down a few figures off the top of his head, and said that I had to give him $100,000 up front and half of my superannuation.

He refused point blank to provide ANY financial documentation to support his claim.

When i asked him to provide details of his income, bank accounts, recent tax returns, he threatened me with court.

I stood firm, and now here we are.

The next court date is to try to enforce discovery.
Again, it's just weird that he keeps maintaining that he doesn't need to provide any evidence of his finances. Likewise, that he thinks he doesn't need to provide any CS.

It's as if he has some sort of brain block.

But as he keeps telling me, it's all my fault that this is costing so much. If I would just do what he's told me to do (i.e. pay him half a million and keep the full mortgage debt on the house myself), everything would be fine.
