What about taking out a home-owner's loan to cover your legal costs? Hard to evaluate not know what the lawyer is saying her costs would be but if you win big in court, you may be well ahead even after paying off your legal costs and the interest cost of the short term loan. Just a thought ... you would have to run the potential numbers and decide if it's a good idea or not.

No... I would hate to have to take on debt that may or may not be covered by the final settlement.
Oh my, this is a terrible situation. I hope they'll get it straightened out.it's not unbelievable it's very common..has been for years niw. Many heart attack victims have died waiting for the ambulance.. many, many people have waited ore than 24 hours... I'v spoken about this on here before. Not Unbelievable;e... Shameful.....and even after the ambulance gets there.. they arrive at the hospital and there's no space for the patient.. and they're either kept in the ambulance for up to a day or taken and placed in a corridor for anything up to a week..because there are no beds available.. and in fact barely any hospitals.
Ambulances are being forced to queue outside the majority of emergency departments before they can unload patients, a new survey suggests.
Under NHS guidance, ambulance handovers should be completed within 15 minutes.
But about two-thirds of A&Es polled by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) indicated they were struggling to meet the standard every day.
The Department of Health said extra funding is being provided to boost staff numbers in key areas. ( not true )
RCEM president Dr Katherine Henderson said: "We are facing a crisis in urgent care and a crisis of patient safety."
"These results show the serious state that our urgent and emergency care system is in," said Dr Henderson.
- 94% of clinical directors said that ambulances had been held outside their buildings at some point before patients could be taken into the hospital
- 61% said ambulances were being forced to queue every day
- About half of emergency departments said care had been provided to patients in non-medical areas such as corridors every day
"None of us want to have patients held in ambulances, treated in corridors, or waiting very long times to go up to a ward bed."
A separate RCEM report, published earlier this month, estimated that 4,519 patients had died after waiting more than 12 hours in emergency departments in England in 2020-2021.
Maybe USA should not, after all, adopt NHS as so many have wanted for so long.
the NHS is a great Concept and was a fantastic concept when matrons and medical staff ran the Hospitals.. since the onset of ''Managers'' the money for the NHS has barely gone into maintaining, or building hospitals, or paying salaries to nurses , and nursing training.. etc..
My second husband hid most of our assets. We had close to a million and yet only 160k showed up to split. This was 27 years ago and his money grew much more than mine because he had so much more. He has 2 houses, 4 cars and a small boat and lots of money. I only am nice to him because of our kids. I’m sorry you are getting cheated too.
horrible for you..
. and of course I'm going through a very simialr situation you know.. . Fortunately I have no children by him... so I will have no need to have anything to do with him after the Divorce...@timoc
One step at a time, my friend...just one step at a time!Morning I guess, woke several times last nite, due to storms,

Here in the US, we have drop off boxes. The glasses are donated to the needy who can't afford to buy them.
So she'll be off to either the doctor, if she can get squeezed in, or the ER.
Well yes, I'm sure it's very complicated and completely understand that you can't share everything publically. Know that we are all just trying to help in what every way we can and clearly you have much support here. I know that doesn't do much to reduce the stress cause by the unknown that you're facing at the moment. It's just a sh*tty situation to be in and we all just wish we could help in some way.
yes they're prohibitively expensive...on top of lawyers fees... out of my reach unfortuntely
No the mediation in this instance is Financial mediation..it's where they bring the 2 parties together and work out a fair financial resolve.... it costs money and I paid for it over a year ago, and they invited him and he refused. They told me then they can't go any further with it..but they could issue me with proof that I attended, and his refusal would look badly upon him if it ever went to court.
Thank you Pinky.
Thank you Trila.
Thanks Pinks... it's what everyone I know keeps telling me.. and for all my stupidity ..I thought that despite all of what he's done in the past, he would just be resigned if not willing to pay his dues... but oh how wrong I was...
My experience (second hand) with divorce is that honorable people behave honorably and dishonorable people behave dishonorably.
"Court can be a great leveler because at least in the US, perjury is something judges take very seriously so litigant are loath to lie under oath before a judge. Given that our laws were largely based on English laws, the same is probably true there."
