hi,
I hope someone has an answer for me here. I separated from my wife back in June 2009, we sold our condo in November which was the matrimonial home. there is some money left from selling the condo, for which most of it should be applied to paying off the family debt first. This is debt is primarily mine since my wife was new to canada and didn't have a job for most of the time before separation, therefore she had no loans or credit cards to be in debt, as well, i was paying all the money for mortgage and pretty much all the daily life expenses. As a result of my marriage, i am under a lot debt which i didn't have prior to my marriage, so technically this money left from selling the condo should go towards paying this debt first, then whatever is left will be divided between me and her.
the problem is, my lawyer has been trying to have my wife and her lawyer to come to a meeting, to discuss how this money should be settled, but the other lawyer has not responded to the three letters and multiple phone messages my lawyer has left him. my lawyer tells me that there is pretty much no choice but to take this case to the court, but it will have a hefty cost which will waste most of that money. I have a feeling that I am being played by these two lawyers so the case goes to court and they make money. how can i avoid this case going to court and get the other lawyer coming to a meeting?
