Hoping someone has some advice for me.
Have had 2 separate consultations with different lawyers. I have moved out of my marital home Jan. 1 2011, and my husband and I share our kids. Right now he is being extremely difficult and he cannot rationally even begin to discuss the separation agreement. I am in a friends house who is away travelling, but back in 2 weeks and I need to find a new place to live (Yes I know I am entitled to move back to the marital house but am worried the verbal abuse would escalate to something physical, and I do not want to expose the children to anymore verbal abuse).
My options are to buy or rent at the end of the month. I will do in the same sub division so the children can go to both of our houses after/before school. As nothing has been agreed upon formally (husband has agreed to buy me out but not on the amount) I have no money for a down payment as it is locked up in the marital house. I can rent which is what I'm going to do and have it come from out joint line of credit as my money is still going towards the other mortgage (has to).
So...
The lawyers have both said they would not take us on until we saw a mediator. My problem is at this point my husband could go and get a new car, he already has someone coming for estimates for new windows in the house, he could travel and do all sorts of things and I would be responsible for 50% as there is no signed separation. How do I stop this from being able to happen until the agreement is done/finalized ? UGH...worries...worries...worries...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated ! Cheers...
