I'm thinking it's time to put one more offer on the table. But my lawyer is requesting another chunk of change for retainer and I'm not sure it is worth it. She hasn't made any progress, and the only thing we are really arguing about here is custody. We could have settled so much more by now.
So, if I make up an offer should I serve it to my ex only, or to his lawyer? I think he is probably willing to do this without them (as his bill is at least as high as mine by now). I doubt that he will settle on the custody issue, but we need to settle the financials at least for now.
What obligations would I have to my lawyer? Since we are in Family court there is nothing in the courts relating to our financials and equalization. Of course I would probably have her look at the offer, but is there an obligation to? It's not like I am going with another lawyer, I'm doing it myself.
Advice??
