Your ex blew up the deposition because he wouldn't wear a MASK????
That is correct. Opposing counsel wouldn’t wear a mask either. I heard her on the phone with his lawyer exasperated because they won’t cooperate. She asked if they wanted to settle and then she said maybe the judge can work this out at the pre-trial conference.
I’m in good hands but my mood just dropped. He managed to stall again so I have to dig deep to find the strength to keep going.
His ATTORNEY wouldn’t wear a mask? What a peach he’s got! Seriously, I cannot understand the sheer selfishness of people. Even if you think you’re so immune, why on earth wouldn’t you wear a mask to make others feel comfortable?

His attorney is awful. He will literally run away from my attorney when he sees her in court. He won’t answer her emails or phone calls. He’s entitled on the days she sits on the bench. He and my stbxh are a perfect match.

That's bizarre. Doesn't the court have protocols on masks at this point?
Sorry you got a built up only to have another delay. Hang in there. You'll get there.
My understanding is the pre-trail conference is basically the judge unofficially signaling to each side how he'll likely rule on the issues and strongly encouraging both sides to come to an agreement. Not sure if your H and his L can delay that, but if it goes through you'll likely get much closer.

There are no protocols where I live. It doesn't matter he had no intention of showing up.

Yes this is how it works here. If the pre-trial goes his way I'll be done soon. If it doesn't I get to stay married. I can't afford to go to trial and I have a temporary support agreement that I can live with.
Been emailing back and forth with my attorney's legal assistant today. Exchanging documents and updating my financials. I could be wrong but I think the deposition caught him off guard and now he's spooked. He assumed everyone would just believe him and doesn't realize I'm not the same person I was when he left. My attorney totally set him up and under oath he'd be caught in a lie so he had to get out of it.
While I was there my attorney asked his attorney (on the phone) if he wanted to settle. The flurry of activity today makes me think I might actually be done soon.

Hi kas99, lots of mind-reading. This reminds me of when you'd alternately project your XH was either very happy or very sad with his new life. Just calling it out. I hope you are right and the flurry of activity indicates you're close to settling! Fingers crossed.

This is a fact. That day was a blur so it wasn't until after I had time to think about it that I remembered that she said this. She wanted to catch him in a lie and that was the whole reason for the deposition.
