Is there anything that can be done about unecessary legal bills.
We have been hashing out a separation agreement for 3 years now.
Our last case conference was for the purpose of determining how much child support I should pay my ex now that he's quit his job and only getting his WSIB income.
His lawyer didn't show to court and my ex had not even provided us with his T4 or income statement before court. So we went for nothing, nothing was determined and everything was put off for another day.
I have already paid my lawyer all my proceeds from the sale of our matrimonial home and I still owe her another $4000 that I do not have. I do not even have enough money to pay child support if he does succeed.
Right from the beginning he and his lawyer have sent ridiculous proposals to be signed and when I've asked my ex he just says "Call your lawyer" or " It's negotiations, you're supposed to counter back"
To me that is ridiculous - why pay the lawyer to counter back a proposal that is assinine and ridiculous (he wanted to get all the tax benefits for the kids and I would pay him $1 child support - this when he made almost twice as much as me and we shared the kids 50/50)
Anyway, is there anything I can do about their unnecessary and costly delays.
