As many of you know, my ex is certifiably looney tunes which plays a large part in why, 10 years later litigation is ongoing with no issues resolved and no trial or arb date occurring due to an obscene allowance of continual delays. This latest not very carefully crafted ploy to stall does really take the cake. We were married and living together for close to 13 years and during that time I only worked casually through an agency so I could be flexible with my time to accommodate the children’s needs. After separation I got a full time permanent job to support myself and the kids.
My ex now alleges that I accumulated a huge pension worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while married which I am hiding. There is no pension and never was. He has gotten the arb date adjourned again so that my non-existent pension can be valued. I called the pension company and they confirmed that there is no pension but cannot put that into writing unless a voluminous amount of paperwork is filled out. I am in the process of filling out said paperwork which apparently isn’t fast enough for my ex. He got an order today that is so ludicrous I was doubled over, killing myself laughing.
The order reads that if I haven’t submitted the paperwork by x date he can bring a motion requesting an award to obtain the valuation of my non-existent pension without my consent.
I immediately contacted my lawyer and begged him to please tell them they don’t need to bring a motion, I will happily and voluntarily dispense with my consent so he can proceed by himself on this wild goose chase.
I think the arbitrator made that order to try to intimidate me into hurrying up and complying but it had the opposite effect. I didn’t realize that it was an option and now that I do, I love it! LOL
If I comply or don’t comply it doesn’t change the fact the pension does not exist, the value is zero and both my ex and his lawyer come out looking like the dullest knives in the drawer.
It is however absolutely insane that the arbitrator allows things to be stalled for the valuation of non-existent assets. If my ex makes up any more nonsense like a valuation of my non-existent Cayman Island bank account and the arbitrator allows another delay I will seek to have him removed!
Has anybody else come across this level of insanity? My lawyer says we are definitely asking for costs when the valuation comes in at zero.
