I don't have any pity for him either. He made his bed and he has to lie in it. BUT I do need to look out for me.
If I do what my attorney says and demand that language be in the PMSA, then I run the risk that H cannot refinance and then I am stuck and he would probably not have to pay me the $3000 anyway. If I let the language stand then H can just do whatever he pleases and pay me or not. I would pay my lawyer well over $3000 to fight this and take this to court.
PLUS emotionally I cannot take another 6 months of this back and forth garbage. I am considering mentioning to H if he cannot pay me $3000 then he should take on more variable expenses for the kids in turn. I cannot just let him walk away from this responsibility.
I do trust my lawyer but cannot afford this anymore. I have gotten the majority of what I was looking for. I think maybe now is the time for creativity in order to get this deal done.
