Hey, just a simple question. I have a preliminary hearing for the divorce on December 12th. What happens at a preliminary hearing? The only thing we really disagree on is who gets the house. I don't suppose that would get decided at a preliminary hearing? Also, my H's lawyer had him filling out a whole bunch of paperwork and we had to make up a list of our assets and their value. My lawyer doesn't have me filling out anything and by Monday, it's only a little over a week away. Do I need to be calling and bugging him again, should I be filling out something or doing something?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Here's the thing - the house is a few houses away from my parents, we can actually see each other's houses. If I didn't live in the house, I'd probably be my H's neighbor and also possibly the neighbor to the whore as she's losing her house or at least I might have to see her sometimes. Would that mean anything in court? That it would cause me such emotional distress?
My mother, who had a terrible divorce, feels to this day - 30+ years later - that she was screwed over by her lawyer. Too many details to get into, but the maritable home was to be assessed as part of the divorce. By the time that was done, he'd let it get so run down, that it's value was neglible, which meant the half of the value given to my mother was also neglible. Just one experience, and one insight.
I can't imagine he'd want the house so close to your parents, but certainly some cash coming from it. A shame really.
Consult your lawyer, just to make sure you've got the t's crossed and i's dotted appropriately.
The answer is YES,, bug your attorney, please, don't be passive,, he/she works for you!
No, no decisions are made at a a preliminary hearing, it is just a starting place for the courts to get an idea at what the understanding are at this time and to see if mediation is going to be required!
Best of luck!
