Hey LNL:

Oh boy am I living this. My H backed out of everything we originally agreed on and tried to twist it all to be completely in his favor. I have found that every time he did this and I would respond with "I will discuss this with my attorney and get back to you", he usually dropped it. I, however, would recommend that you see an attorney and make sure you know your rights. Legal battles with men like our Hs are not easy and you are going to need a good attorney who understands how your H behaves in your corner. I guarantee he is going to fight you for every penny because he thinks he is entitled to everything. It will be all me, me, me.

When my H was buying me out of the house he was trying to insist that I pay the property taxes for this year since I had lived in the house for the month of January. I just said no I don't think so. If you have a problem with that, we can discuss it with the Judge. Now that I am buying him out he is adamant that he will not give me any money for the property taxes even though he will have lived there for six months this year. According to him, I don't need the money. We will see what the Judge says.

As for him staying the night, just say no. You don't have to explain. I have found the more I try to explain myself the worse the situation gets.
