Thanks 2.4, what if he wants to discuss dividing up marital property and what to do with the house? Should I let him know to have his lawyer draw it up and send it to me so I can have my L review?
That's one way to go. If it's already clear what the choices are (i.e. neither can afford the house alone, so it must be sold), then I'd probably lean that way.
That said, at this point, I'd probably steer clear from all of that discussion. It's early, the wound is fresh, and you still have a lot of work on you to be done.
This is way early in the game to be seeing who gets what. My W filed in July 12 and neither of us has even provided the other with our "wants" at this point. Lots of time.
Agree with 2.4, make him to the work....don't help, but don't be rude about it either.
