Dear Lindsay or LogicalVelocity,
I have made an offer (calculated by using my NFP calculations), taken the difference and offered 65% (not 50%) of the difference. I made the offer open, I did not include any offer of spusal support as the ex has a rather confusing NFP not completed properly (dates missing, unreported earnings, cohabitating but not including partners earnings, in a request to admit she answered true to the following question: 50% of your living expenses are paid for by your partner
Mr. X. ( I consider this income). Any comments please.
Anyway my questions to prepare for court:
1. For court, should all supportive documents of my NFP be prepared as exhibits? Should I make copies of these for the Applicant's lawyer and judge.
2. All evidence to discredit the Applicant should they be prepared as exhibits (ie I have two credit cards that I have, still attached to the letter from the institution, hers are missing and maxed out, I ended up with the tab etc.)
And do I just take these exhibits to court or are they served on the other party before trial and if so, when)
3. What forms are necessary for trial; I know Form *E 13.1 13b and a recent pay stub., anything else.
4 If I find that the applicant has entered into a business with her attorney ( say a share of a race horse)
5. I served an offer to settle on the Applicant's lawyer and filed a sealed copy with the court, the offer is open . Should I expect a counter offer, or is it a poker game? They hold out and wait for me to budge.
Thanks again LV and Lindsay.
Yours Truly,
Mcbroke
