Here's the background. My fiancee and his ex girlfriend were together for about 12 years. He has his own business and had purchased a house while they were together. Both of these items are solely in his name. During the last 4 years they were together they lived in seperate rooms. She is working part time, and is more than capable of working full time with the skills she acquired due to the schooling that HE paid for.
They broke up 2 years ago. 3 months after the break up she served him stating she wants spousal support and the house and some sort of settlement based on all of his assets. (I am unsure of the actual legal terms). She never paid a penny toward the home, the business, or any other of his assets.
She is now engaged and about to have a child with someone else. We thought that she had dropped the case, because for 1 year we never heard a thing.
Now out of nowhere he is expected to show up to court this week. Apparently this is for a settlement agreement?
My questions:
1. What should we expect to face, and what should we bring? My fiancee had fired his lawyer 6 months ago and now he is on his own.
2. When she gets married (if he is ordered to pay spousal support) will that support end?
3. Because she is about to have a child, this is going to effect her ability to work, will this work in her favour as far as our case goes?
4. Also a few months ago she had emailed me through facebook harassing me and saying horrible untrue things about my fiancee. Can this be used against her during these proceedings?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
