case conference agreements/offer to settle

[mom2three]

I have searched all over but have not been able to find my answers so here goes:

Case conference held 4 months ago. It was agreed my ex would buy my share of the home. To this date I have heard absolutely NOTHING with regards to this matter. Just how long does a person get before this issue would be,once again, brought to case conference?

Also,does anyone have any idea just when to make an "offer to settle". Should an offer to settle be made before a case conference or before a motion on issues to which we cannot agree at case conference?

Thanks for any insight provided!

Usually the offer to settle is presented at the case conference that includes all of the items that you want to have dealt with. Did you sign something at the case conference? If it was dealt with both you and your X would have signed on any of the items that have been agreed upon such as the offer to purchase your half of the home. Also it usually would indicate a time frame that the transaction needs to be completed in. If you did not sign anything then I would say that it has not been dealt with. Rather your lawyer presented the offer they may have agreed verbally but want to settle on some of the other matters that were also included.

In my own settlement conference we agreed on custody and other matters but not on equalization, support etc. I did have to sign as to what we agreeed too. Hope this may help.

Also I found it helpful (as it goes by so quickly) to have my lawyer get me the notes from the judge. What he/she directed us to do to settle matters. He directed EX to get any medical that they were going to rely on at trial and I had to get retiremenet gratuity evaluated.
