Just received an email from my ex's lawyer... .it's a settlement proposal. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, and I don't think I'll even respond apart from finding a lawyer willing to work with me. Not looking for legal advice here (or I'd be posting on that board) so don't mind me venting.
He has been gone for 6 months. No contact with me other than one email. We have a child together. She is 11 years old. Not one penny of child support paid in that time. Almost 4 months since he contacted our daughter (she tried to stay in contact but he changed his phone number and did not inform her or me of his new number. We own a home together with a little bit of equity. He wants me to pay him for the equity but NOT assume half of the marital debt. He not only wants spousal support but that is in excess of child support so while I have our daughter full time, I am to pay him every month. And of course, my pension (he has none) and equal parenting rights. Oh and he states he will "try" not to use our daughter as a pawn... .questioning her about me, etc... Try?
Absolutely don't respond! Get a lawyer ASAP! Also try to keep your emotions in check, his lawyer may want to try to get you to respond in some way just to have something to use against you!
