Hi,
I'm heading into my first settlement conference in a few weeks. I'm self representing but consulting with a lawyer, my STBX has a lawyer.
I had a case conference in the spring and was wondering what the important differences are between the two. As far as I can see they are very similar except that the judge may be a little more forceful.
Silly enough, we've reached an agreement on all issues except that my STBX's lawyer insists on adding two, what I would call "editorial" statements. These statements don't change the substance of the agreement but he insists on them.
For the curious, one statement is giving a reason on the amount of SS that will be paid. The other is a statement saying that my STBX is relying on information I provided.
If we do go to the settlement conference it should be interesting. I can see the judge asking why we are wasting their time with something so trivial.
Cheers,
