| | | How about this?
What is the name of your state? OH
My other thread was locked so I'll just quickly re-cap. I was getting opinions on if I should take the 500.00 a month from my husband or not. I have decided after the advice of Ohiogal that I would put a cap or end to it. For 3 years I will get 500.00 a month. I figured that he's going to at least by me a new car out of this (petty I know).
So, my question is if the lawyers draw up all the paperwork and everyone signs and agrees this DOES NOT have to go to court right? They will just file it and once a judge signs off on it it will be over?
Some people are saying to me that I should argue the new baby into it, but if we are agreed on everything there is no point correct?
Thanks. |

Thanks. | Its POSSIBLE that if everyone agrees on everything that you won't have to go to court. It may not be an absolute that you won't have to go to court. |

| | | It has to go to court and you will have to go to court to state that you have agreed to everything. They want that on the record. The judge MAY let your attorney state that for you but usually both parties have to show up just to announce on the record that the agreement the judge is signing is actually what they agreed to.

More than likely, she is entitled to more should she choose to fight for it. Aside from the fact that she could also file fault divorce as there is a "love child" as proof of his infidelity. So pooh pooh on your newsflash.  |

| | | thanks (almost) all of you.
I know that we would physically have to appear at court. What I meant was that it wouldn't be one of the cases I hear about with an actual trial and such if we agree right? |

Oh, and really, you must thank Bali as well, he isn't so bad as he tries to be  . |

Besides, OP said she really didn't need the money. |

Besides, OP said she really didn't need the money. | So what if she doesn't need the money. If I don't need money should I not be paid this week?? You know that I don't usually back up spousal support, but this lady got screwed, or rather somebody else did, creating havoc in her life, yes, I think he should pay something in order for her to be able to more comfortably restore order. and so, apparently does he. The 3 year limit was her idea. Well maybe it was our idea, but she agreed. I think that is pretty darned fair.
and, yes, it may be an award, something bestowed in exchange for something else, but it is hardly a gift in this case.
Don't make me beat you up!!!  |
