The discontinuance means he has dropped his whole case for settlement.
He lodged an application months ago claiming that he was entitled to a big pay-out from me.
He didn't take into account any of the massive debts he'd created and left me with, however.
Just out of the blue, and after the judge had ordered he do a number of things (file his financial docs, pay S14's school fees, not sell either of our cars), he lodged a discontinuance notice yesterday.
He's been pushing for this payout in settlement from me for 18 months now. I've already incurred large legal fees fighting it.
I got the debt notice for the car XH took because he made me sign as guarantor for the lease (threatening that I would lose the house - because of inability to pay the mortgage - if i didn't).
I'm bowled over by the recent turn of events. Trying to work out what it can mean.
I am sitting, waiting.
XH was in contact with the kids last night, asking for us to go to dinner with him tonight.
It's my dad's 89th birthday however, so we already have plans.
