Have a situation here and hoping someone can help...
The ex and I have had a long and expensive court battle for the last two years. Nothing much has happened legally in that timeframe except both of us ran out of money and really we're still very much at opposing views and not much has been solved in that time. Ex has been self-repped for about the last half year and I just went self-repped a few weeks ago. Two things are going on right now;
1) Ex has brought on a separate motion to me for section 7 expenses going back 11 years. Have had a court date with my lawyer at the time with this (might have been a settlement conference? I'm not sure what it's called - we just went to court to have the judge hear her side and to justify the expenses) with my side saying it's all nonsense and the judge saying that she has some serious issues with the types of expenses ex has put in her motion and for us to try to work it out. Needless to say, ex's position is pay 100% of what she is asking for, that's non-negotiable to her.
2) We have decided to just stop the court fight in regards to my motion, the one that has been going on for two years. I have the Notice of Withdrawl form here and am ready to serve it (the trial is 2nd week of Feb) but before I do am hoping some of you can offer some advice, my red flag detector is pinging away here.
Ex has to serve me with new papers in regards to filing an updated section 7 expenses list for the upcoming court date at beginning of Feb. She has been asking me for the last 2 weeks to serve her with the Notice to Withdraw so she can then afterwards serve me her papers. She is not serving me her papers until I serve her and file my Notice of Withdrawl. My question and the thing that is setting of my radar is WHY?
There is an OCL involved and I have spoken to him about stopping the case and he is waiting for me to serve him the Notice of Withdrawl as well so he can stop work on the case, OCL has noted that until I do he is obligated to work on case.
Any suggestions? If you need more information or clarification, please ask.
Thank you!
