How long should this take?

[fed-up]

Here is my story. After 15 years together,5 of them married, my husband decided we were just friends. We bought our house together before we married, and he decided to move out in November 2005, in april 2006, he bought a house with his girlfriend in another province, (but doesn't know that I know about it). I filed for divorce, and it was uncontested and granted in 2007. At the time of our our separation he was making 50 K more then me, and has since doubled. No settlement has been finalized due to him dragging his feet, and my lawyer always waiting for a reply from my ex's lawyer. I've given my last propoasl, of me keeping the house and him paying off the mortage. (Still waiting on his lawyer's response). Can I put a lean on his new house and any other property he may have bought to give him a kick in the ass to pick up his feet? In earlier conversations before any proceedings, he wanted the house sold, or I buy him out. That's why I'm fed up.

[standing on the sidelines]

he is not being unresonable with wanting the house sold or you to buy him out. For you to keep the house and he pay off the mortgage no one would agree to that. If you want it over, either sell the house or buy him out and get it over with.

I am thinking that you have no legal right to place leins against anything he owns, there is no judgement against him so no legal reason for it.

The courts ordered for his financial statement, when the divorce was granted, which to this date he has not provided, and does not want to give out that information, because he then has to justify his property. I don't money from him, just my house.

Not to mention he had taken all of "his" stuff as he calls it out of the house, the boy toys, big screen tv, with the suround system, collectables. Everything that WE paid for.

A little perspective here - you are still in the entire house, worth 100s of thousands, but you complain the he took the things that he purchased (with joint money), installed and appreciated mostly by him - you even call it the boy toys!

And you feel entitled to participate in his financial success AFTER separation...hmmmm

No my 900sq ft house is not worth 100s of thousands of dollars like his is, and I don't want his money, or his 1/2 of his pension I just want what I think is fair. If he doesn't want to pay ss which he has never given, and has said I would have to court to get any, I'm trying to save having to shell out lawyer fees not to go to court to get it. But if that what it comes down to, then I will go for 1/2 of everything. I've done all the leg work to get this divorce, while he just sat back and ignored requests from the lawyer. I could have sat back and waited for him, but I wanted to get on with my life, and for all I care he can choke on his financial success. He had nothing when we met, and still has nothing.
