My final is coming up in 28 days, and so far we don't agree on who gets what. I've been married for 23 years and we have 3 houses. Does her lawyer try to make me look bad and my lawyer try to make her look bad....is it just a big negotiation....does the judge really wanna hear who was the worst who was the best.....if you've been there please write......i have paid my child support plus extra to her and my boys.....who by the way have been taken from her and placed in state custody for being out of control.... she just quit a job that she had been on for 6 years(her boss laid her off)....and I am nervous as hell about what is going to happen.

I have talked to my lawyer....he is 81 years old and a family friend doing my divorce as a favor. He says to quit worrying...that there is a formula the judge must use and it will be pretty much 50/50

If you have not worked things out by the hearing date, the lawyers try to win as much for their clients as possible. This means they try and make their client look good while making the other's client look bad.
You need to remain calm at all times. "Never let them see you sweat." Your lawyer should be able to coach you on the correct behavior and dress for the occasion. It will not be pleasant. Expect the worst of everyone.
If things cannot be decided at the hearing the judge has the power to divide all assets as he sees fit.

Thats a real pisser!!!! I think you will be fine!!! make sure your lawyer is aware of all of these things, and make sure he lets the judge know. The judge should find in your favor a bit if you have followed what you were supposed to do.

Why aren't the kids with you? Instead of the state? It's just more of a negotiation. Why not ask your lawyer though?
