The furnace still is coming on in the morning, even though days have been getting up to 19/68. When I took the laundry downstairs, it made me glad I don’t have to rent a basement suite. It was cold down there. There’s such a shortage of rentals that there the only thing listed.
 
My God, my lawyer has just sent me an Excel spreadsheet with figures ready for discussion tomorrow morning... I'm tearing my hair out here because there's 3 blatant and potentially catastrophic errors on it.. :eek:... sometimes I wonder how people get to be so incompetent especially when they're getting paid to be the opposite...

Just like the fog from an east breeze coming off the cold North Sea, our Pacific Coast north of Santa Cruz is frequently foggy spring through summer. Of course, lots of British visit San Francisco that can be especially cool, foggy, and breezy. Expect, you'd like it. Prime urban destination for vacationer's escaping their summer heat. This last weekend spent 2 afternoons at a lively San Francisco street art/music festival often dancing so am a bit slow and burned out this morning. San Francisco has an abundance of healthy, fit, attractive young women.

You always have to be diligent in checking others work. It's certainly frustrating considering the amount of money attorneys charge. Of course the spread sheet was probably prepared by an intern working for free, but the lawyer will probably want billable hours when you call to discuss.

it never occurred to me that it may be a clerk.. altho' I doubt in this case.. however if it was its still unforgivable that it wasn't checked before being sent out.

I mean one of the errors was his name.. they even put the wrong name !:oops:
 
Now the lawyer has got the hump probably because I've corrected her, despite me being pleasant about it... She's sent me another mail saying.. that as he's not being honest with his income, his finances or financial needs going forward.. and she can't get hold of certain other info then ''we may not be able to go forward with the settlement of the financial issues''..

I'm very concerned indeed ... surely this is very common for one or both parties to lie and hide their financial information. ... how can she even consider not going further forward if he's not more honest...

Rhetorical question obviously.. but I'm really worried now...

ETA I wonder if she's drunk working from home.. after I corrected her about the first 3 mistakes... on her reply.. she did the same thing and made 2 more spelling mistakes..one in my O/h's name... and the other in the name of the ***** he has living with him

Hmm that is worrisome. What does that mean "can't go forward?"

Exactly , I'm presuming from her mail.. that it's as she says since he's clearly not being honest and she can't trace where he's hidden finances... quote ''I have a real concern that unless he agrees to be honest and give us the disclosure we will not be in a position to settle financial matters''.

well if he was going to be honest he would have been so..on his disclosures thus far which are clearly fake... .. I thought it was down to lawyers to find these hidden assets or accounts when it was clear they were not being produced..


I actually feel a bit sick..panicking here now.. thinking I may have to pay for another lawyer and go through all this again.. and we're running short of time before the court date..

@Trila It's a nice day here, too. Our rain is supposed to start in earnest tonight. Helps with the water bill.

Well, we got home from town without rain.

Actually, it looks like there is a good chance that it will miss us...but that remains to be seen. It's still sunny/cloudy and humid. The temp is around 84°F/28.8°C, so it makes you feel like you're melting when you go out!

Don't panic yet. Hoping someone chimes in who knows something about these things.

Wow, talk about red flags! What a delima too, do you fire what appears to be an incompetent attorney and start over, or plunge ahead hoping for the best? I wish you good luck.
 
I've had a nice few weeks of not having to do anything.
Earlier in the week I had a bizarre experience of a fawn materializing behind me on a walk and then nuzzling my jeans at my knee and ankle looking (apparently) for a nipple.
Yesterday I picked the first of my pea crop from my raised garden box.
Today I did a crossword puzzle. I've never liked those because my mind goes completely blank at every single clue, but my daughter gave me a little booklet of easy beginner crossword puzzles, and this turns out to be the appropriate level of difficulty for me. :D

that’s hogwash from the lawyer. She may not be able to go forward with the division as it was planned for tomorrow. She knows things don’t just end because your X has lied. If she doesn’t give you a satisfactory explanation on what to do next, demand to speak to a senior lawyer.

In theory, you would think there could be a penalty against him for lying on a legal document.

I know you can’t afford the next steps; maybe you can’t afford not to.
