What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
Ex filed initial papers in February 2009. We've had FIVE final hearing dates that have been placed under continuance for various reasons - 3 of which from the ex's attorney's wanting that extended time frame because they consider this a "trial".
Next hearing is set for Dec. 13th. However, today I get a call from ex saying he spoke to his lawyer today (on Saturday, really?) and if I would be okay with everything being put off until January 2011.
Yeah, I said a big NO.
First reason was because holidays were coming up. Second reason was because he had so much issues going on. After my third NO, he told me "thanks for putting a f***ing damper on the holidays" and hung up on me.
Is there any any ANY way I (my lawyer) can make sure this hearing does NOT get placed in continuance again?
I have 2 suspicions. 1) Ex hasn't paid his lawyer or 2) Ex is in trouble for something.
(Yes, I do have a lawyer, I meet with him Monday, but I am sick to my stomach thinking this could be continued again and just really want reassurance, if any...)
