As some of you may know, I'm separated from my DD's father. We've been separated about four years. In February of 2002, I sent him a Separation Agreement prepared by my lawyer. In October of 2002, he finally went to his own lawyer and made a few small changes and sent it back to my lawyer. I immediately met with my lawyer, agreed to the changes he requested, signed the Agreement and sent it back.

HE STILL HASN'T SIGNED IT AND SENT IT BACK TO ME.x(

I believe that, according to Canadian family law, after one year of separation, the terms of the agreement hold up in Court anyway, but it's the principle of the thing. Why won't he sign it? (That's a rhetorical question;) ).

Sorry, just needed to vent.
 
That is awful!
Vent away - you need to.

About 10 years ago my dad did that to my mom and it still makes me furious when I think about it. Even though he was the one who left her (for someone that he worked with) he dragged it out for so long that she was just wanted to get it over with pretty much ended up getting nothing.

Too bad there wasn't a way you could force him to sign it.
Good luck - hope things turn around.
 
This one is easy - I had a similar situation back in 1987-1988 when my ex dragged things on and on, and I pretty much agreed to anything just to get it over with. Why does he do it? He's an a** hole! Been there, done that!
Just Do It! :)
 
Sorry you're going through this. I guess that's just the tip on the iceberg on why he's your ex?! ;-)

Hang in there!

Well, I wouldn't say that men suck but I do think that some people are jerks, regardless of gender. And that's one of those things outside of our respective circles of influence.

I take it this is not a guy you can talk reasonably with?

Consider yourself lucky not to be completely entangled with him and try not to let it ruin your day. :) :)
 
Well, I am pretty much entangled with him in that I have to communicate with him almost every single day, since he's the father of my daughter.

It's not a question of talking reasonably either. I've asked reasonably. Many, many times. It's been almost 3 years. It's just so damn frustrating.x(
 
I feel for you Shelley! I had a similar situation with my ex. Since I left him(because he ran up our phone bill upwards of 5K with 1-900 numbers, just to name ONE thing!!), I had to pay for the filing of everything, including our lawyer(we had no children or alimony issues). And he still took the maximum time to sign EVERY piece of paper!! We had been seperated for 2 years!! It drove me crazy! I felt like I was in some sort of divorce limbo forever!!
Hang in there!! He can't draw it out forever and he will eventually have to give up the game and sign the papers.
