Stupid STBXH

We have been seperated since June and I filed in August, because he wasnt doing anything to change his ways (ie go into rehab and get clean). I made him an amazing deal considering he took everything in the house and cleaned out the bank accounts. I only asked for my car, the house (and its debt which my parents also own 1/3 of), my 4 wheeler and the pets (2 cats and a dog that didnt take when he cleaned the house out while i was at work). He didnt want my offer and decided to fight me (apparently he thought the $20,000 and 2 vehicles, 4wheeler and contents of the house were not enough for him). The house we bought Aug 10 so we have ver little equity in it, plus my parents put the down payment down and co signed for the house (rent in our area was getting tripple what our house payments now are). My attorney said we should now for for 1/2 of everything as ND is a 50/50 state. He has till Dec 11 at 9am to have the paperwork to my attorney (yes this is a Sunday, but he only has to have it in the mail box) for the apraised value of his diecast car collection, snappon tools, and the new tools that he just got when he went to Paintless Dent Repair school in August (which I am recieving bills for now). His attorney called mine this morning to let him know that she is doing everything in her power to get STBXH to the table, but he refuses to come and settle this. He doesnt have the money to pay me out for 1/2 of everything and it frustrates me that he didnt just sign the origional papers. His first attorney fired him, and his new attorney is beside herself. I have a restraining order on him as he keeps breaking into the house, hitting my car and harassing me at work. He is not allow near me or the house. He has stole my mail, changed addresses on the bills (which he has never paid in the first place). I'm to the point that I just want to kill him and get this done with. I have been seeing a new guy for about a month now, and he is just amazing. He is willing to help me around the house, seen my dad trying to load his bikes into the trailer and stopped and helped him. Everything my STBXH isnt. He is ok with my wanting to take things slow. He has been keeping me sane. I dont know how much more of this i can take. He obviously isnt going to comply with what the law says, and I cant stand to be tied to him any longer. He isnt the man I ment 10 years ago, or even the man I married 2 years ago.

  • I am sorry you have to deal with this.  Hopefully his irresponsibility will work to your advantage as far as what you get in the divorce settlement.  I am sure Dec 11 can't come fast enough.  Have you done any counseling?  I am glad to hear you are taking it slow with the new guy!
  • One day, I'm sure he'll look back at this and realize what a good deal you tried to cut him.  I agree with pp that there's a good chance that his irresponsibility will come back and bite him in the you-know-what.  Best of luck to you!  Keep us updated.

  • With everything that has happened in the past year. I have been in counseling once a week. We tried couple, but he just wasnt in to it, and couldnt see that he was doing anything wrong, or needed to get help for his drug use.
