Good day all!
I'm in a very weird scenario and was looking for some additional guidance. I've been separated for almost 2 years and have been trying to get my ex to finalize things, so I can move on with my life. I left my ex and the kids in the house and tried to remain amicable. After a year, I asked for us to finalize our finances and go our separate ways. At first my ex was accepting, but soon realized that it was all a delay tactic. Since then, I've been living in a basement, slowly trying to counter act the alienation my ex has been subliminally putting on my kids and had to retain counsel to assist me (as I'm no lawyer and don't claim to be). My issue here is that my ex failed to respond to the application within the 30 days (after numerous attempts of avoiding this path), submitted an affidavit for uncontested divorce, judge replied that we should inform the other party of our motion to move forward without my ex, sent registered mail (didn't pick it up), had my ex served and refused to respond within the timeline that the judge put out, hearing set next month and curious about how this will play out. My lawyer hasn't instilled a lot of confidence as of late, as he's told me he's never had this happen before and doesn't know how this may play out. Any idea how this will go at the hearing? Just looking for some kind of guidance. I've been living below the poverty line since I left, paying CS, family debt (until the equity can be used to wipe it out) and had to place myself into more financial hardship to assist me long term. Thank you all for your time
