So I'm back peeps. I went to court Monday with X for his request to terminate maintenance. He was denied. He is mad again, of course. Called me and stated he is going to appeal and take it to the judge for a de novo review...similar to what happened when I was ordered to leave the marital home.
He wanted to "warn" me that if he goes through with this de novo hearing, there is a chance the judge will make me pay back all the maintenance he has paid me since he filed this request in September. I know it's a threat. I've already contacted a lawyer. We will see what the chance of that happening is. There is always a chance, I guess. But what is the likelihood?
He says it is completely unfair that I am living within my means and he is struggling. He says the courts are biased and unfair. In his own words, they are "a joke".
The court commissioner determined he still earns 66% of the income while I only make 34%. She told him his debt is his problem and he can't get out of his obligation to me because he has too much debt. She said if I was entitled to NG's house and other assets it would be a different story, but I'm not because we are not married.
Just goes to show you it's been 3 years post divorce and he's still as crazy as ever, if not crazier. He tried to bring up the unfairness of the divorce property division and she told him that was all a mute point. Now he's absolutely spinning.
I guess I've lived through it this long. Just another hill on the roller coaster. Anyone reading this know it's a long long haul.
It must be absolutely miserable to be him.
