Hi, I'm new to this site. I'm a married male in my forties, with one child, in the midst of a divorce. My wife, who's (wealthy) parents are footing her legal bills, is bent on burying me financially.
I'm currently supporting three families: a) ex-wife and daughter from first marriage; b) myself and my teenage son, from my first marriage; and c) my wife and daughter from my second marriage.
Wife is currently not working and the court has thus far ordered me to pay, in addition to child support, all the utilities on the marital home and the minimum balance on the home equity line.
I'm already over $40,000 in debt (plus half the balance on the home equity line, which is around $128,000), and the end of this case is nowhere in sight.
I've made two generous settlement offers which have both been rejected out of hand, without so much a counter offer.
Any suggestions on how to move things along? I'm considering pro se (self-representation) as an option to keep from going further into debt.
Thanks for listening.
