Apparently H's L called my L and said he's not comfortable with our "demands." H's L says he doesn't feel it's "fair" for H to have to pay the mortgage for the next several months, and still have to pay alimony in the future. (Okay, so H's L is either lame or doesn't know the full story, wouldn't you agree?)
So my L says screw 'em. He says he's tired of dealing with them and he's ready to "kick it up a notch." He says he has full confidence that (considering the circumstances) any judge will give me what I'm asking for, mainly because H screwed me so badly and I'm being *very* reasonable in what I'm asking for in return.
I found out that if H would've just signed off on my changes (which were not drastically different from his at all, except the possibility of alimony), then we wouldn't have had to file our answer or go to court right now. But now, L says, we'll file our answer and send OW a letter next week. And we'll have our hearing soon thereafter.
Why didn't this make me as sick-feeling yesterday as it does today? Maybe because it's so real now. Yuck.
