I have clearly stated this several times, and I KNOW he heard me.

Okay - reality slap - he served you with divorce papers 6 months ago! Even though it can't be finalized for another 6 months, you NEED to be working on it! Get an attorney, figure out your demands,PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND. This is a financial issue, just business, keep it separate from your emotional part of the relationship. But just sitting there say to him "I'm going to drag my feet as long as I possibly can" is NOT going to benefit you in the long run. Better to give him at least the APPEARANCE of cooperating (you can always drag out the steps between now and next Feb without LOOKING like it's on purpose). Until you drop the rope he'll just be engaged in a struggle against you to get "free". Once you start working on the divorce there's a greater likelihood the reality will slap him in the face.
