My question involves divorce in the State of: Ohio
Despite our mutual desire to end the marriage amicably, the Future-ex (Fex) opted to file for divorce rather than work through a dissolution settlement on the advice of his lawyer. Since filing over 14 months ago, he and his lawyer have done nothing except file for (and receive court approval for) an exorbitant amount of temporary spousal support from me. His lawyer has ignored all attempts to settle before going to trial. My lawyer made a final attempt to settle three weeks ago. The trial, scheduled three months ago, is to occur in three weeks.
Why would the plaintiff's legal counsel recommend filing for divorce then do nothing? Why would they prefer to go to trial rather than settle?![]()
