Stick to your two-bit cases.
Why should there be any new "negotiations?"
I cannot recall a case where we went back to court post-decree to argue that the award of assets should be changed, absent agreement of the parties.
Sure, child support and alimony can often be reviewed based on a change in circumstances, but assets?
Maybe you are trying to argue you cannot pay her the money you once agreed to pay her, is that it?
Sounds eerily familiar.
I suspect my prior use of the word "chisel" was apt.
Did your lawyer use an affidavit from your son, describing how you're too broke to repay him the money justly due him?
I can just see it now: "Your honor, Mr. Mendelson is too poor, too broke, to retire a debt to his son; how then can he be expected to cash out ex-wife number 3 for her interest in the internet business he was awarded? It's the economy, your honor: it has nothing to do with gambling."
Better hope the other attorney doesn't impeach you using the thread Jason started, the one where he "shamed" you aptly and mercilessly: it could be Exhibit "A" to be used against you.
What's the other lawyer's name?
I'll send him / her a link to the thread, he'll/ she'll get a kick out of it and you'll get a few swift kicks because of it.
