My ex served me two years ago, and I didn't respond. So our divorce was settled in an uncontested trial... which was obviously skewed in her favour.
I quickly lawyered up, and filed a motion to set aside the judgement. Denying her claims of abuse, child neglect, ect.
She served us with her affidavit with pictures of the abuse... I only remember one incident which was self defense... the others are not true.
My lawyer says that it looks really damaging and wants me to take her offer to settle. Which asks me to pay all her lawyer costs upon accepting the offer, and paying her the 10k that I owe her in child support.
It would give me more time with my kids, but it seems ridiculous to have to pay all of that upfront. I would need to take out a loan or something, but my lawyer said I would be liable for all of that anyway if I lost the motion. But at least it wouldn't be upfront...
Is it possible to win the motion? I have no proof that she is lying about the abuse, it is he said she said.
