What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Il
Going to a settlement conference on Friday. Married 24 yrs..separated another 3. Husband left in 2010. Before he left made 60,000 and 15,000 on side jobs he didn't claim on taxs. I've been on Ssdi since 2007 (tried to return to work in 2011) failed. my Ssdi 1770.00. Since separation he works no overtime and pay is only 42,000. Since he doesn't claim side job on taxs the only way to see how much he really makes is his checking accts (yes I have them) shows he makes over 60,000. Right now I'm getting workcomp weekly of 552.00 however this is temporary and can stop any day. I then would be back at only 1770.00 a month. He does not want a trial so were doing a settlement conference. My attorney asked him to think about how much he thinks he should pay for maintenance. Right now I do not need it but will when w/comp stops. I have no idea what it should be. One atty told me I would be lucky to get 500.00. Being that his checking accounts show deposits over 60,000 don't you think it's fair it should go off this number. I want to be prepared for Friday and this is only one issue of many...thanks
