KC, your H has no incentive to push the D through. I think it's pretty clear he is not going to participate voluntarily. I said this before and I will say it again- it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY he is going to hand you a 50k advantage in the D. Whatever promises he has made are just as valuable and reliable as his commitment to "have and hold, until death do us part" was. So dismiss your idea of waltzing this through easily with a big fat payday for you because it's just not going to happen. You have a decision to make, it's one of two choices:

1. Quit pressuring H about the D, he doesn't want it so just forget it. Tell your L it's tabled for now. Go completely dark in every sense of the word. 100% dark. No phone calls, no texts, nothing. If he serves you papers you deal with it then.

2. Pursue D. Tell your L that H is not cooperating and apparently does not intend to follow through with any of the paperwork, so ask what your next step is to push it through (I presume it would be to file papers and then have him served). Go completely dark in every sense of the word. 100% dark. No phone calls, no texts, nothing. Everything goes through your L.

Pick one or the other and commit to it. You're just driving yourself mad with all this wishy washy behavior you're engaging in.

Also note what both of the above options have in common. Go dark.

And now I have a challenge for you. Do not post "AS you make some good points" and then go right back to the exact same behavior that's getting you nowhere. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. You've been camped out at the entrance to a cheeseless tunnel for far too long.
