I am currently working on a settlement conference brief happening soon. The other party (respondent) was the one that scheduled this.
The main issues outstanding from my initial application are as follows:
1. Joint LOC
2. Divorce (which both party have consented to)
In the SC brief itself, do I really need to give the Justice a background history of both parties and how they met? I know there is a section where I have to mention issues that have been resolved thus far, and the another section for what is outstanding
With regards to the divorce, can I mention that both party at CC consented to a divorce, and should I serve the other part as part of my docs the divorce form requesting a signature?
Now in my offer to settle, here is what am thinking with regards to settling the LOC issue:
- Both parties go into the bank and qualify for half of the LOC debt?
- Respondent goes in and qualify for whatever amount they can, and the applicant takes on the rest
- Open to any suggestions from the forum
Now these remainder issues are part of what I put in my original application.
The respondent has their own claims, which I have never acknowledged in any of my responses....the usual Spousal Support being one of them
As Arabian (she should know) mentioned in a number of threads to others, "don't bother get caught up in the claim for SS, don't acknowledge / respond to it in your documents...this has been my stance from the start
So....advice and suggestions welcomed for completing my SC brief and offer to settle form
TIA
