Why do STBXH's act like they want to get a divorce sorted then drag their heels!!!
Been separated for 3 years next month, he left (abusive relationship of 20 years, 2 DCs, he left for someone else but denies this obviously). He banged on about getting divorce within a week of saying he was leaving but here I am still waiting. He got caught out as he seemed to think I wasn't due anything from the joint account we had and so was offering only maintenance for the Dcs, once our sols started communicating in March this year (i wasn't initiating divorce as can't afford to, work PT for minimum wage) he would have shit a brick (earns 6 figures a year and likes to spend money like it's going out of fashion so probably no savings to give me what I'm due).
Child maintenance has been agreed in principle until youngest turns 18. He offered an amount as settlement for me which I refused. He then offered a little bit more, but only on the condition he kept his job. My sol has said I accept the 2nd amount offered but not with the condition as it is irrelevant what he earns now, I'm due what I'm due from then basically (and funny there was no condition of if he kept his job attached to the first lower amount offered a week before
). I know for a fact he has work until probably Sept this year, and as I say high earner, so would be able to pay me second amount offered no problem as far as I'm concerned. It's been nearly 2 weeks since my sol sent our response and not heard a peep. Feels like he is trying to drag it out now just to piss me off and be abusive. I just want it done and dusted so I can get on with my life and start to build my future with a part of what I'm actually due!!!
