H literally said -- I needed to give him back $2200 of the $6800 I took out of joint accts. He was whining and carrying on about it. After complaining that he is struggling and not able to take a vaca.
I simply again stated that I took 1/2 of the $12500 from the emergency fund.. AND 1/2 of his $2600 work bonus (as per my atty instructions) I was matter of fact.
He then turned and stated he wasn't sweating the money... so why bring it up??? I let it go.
He also seriously said that he had X, Y and Z of the bills and that these were the numbers from the retirement acct-- from last March which were just estimates by the way. I was to write something up and that we both sign and I just file it with the county clerk.
WTH???? This man has been through a divorce before. I paid the bills - it cost him less than $1000 for a drawn out contested D.
He insists I bypass by atty that I'm paying for - not him. AND, this is an amicable D. There are no kids involved. Its splitting simple assests. He would only spend $800-1000 and I'll only spend $1500-2000 (I have the best D lawyer in town!!! too bad for him)
So why in the world if he doesn't lawyer up and isn't paying a dime would he insist I bypass my atty???
I clearly told him no. That I'm not against discussing numbers with him but it will go through my atty and will be filed by my atty.
Does he even truly realize that this is just a Separation settlement... this is not an actual D yet. i just wonder what planet he is on.
