Oh Guys, please pray for me. My attorney's office is telling me now that I have to pay my ex for 60% of the total value of my house, not 60% of the equity. This means i have to pay my ex another $30 to 35K.
I asked them about the phrase and they told me it was all okay and in legal language and not to worry and now they are saying they had nothing to do with me signing the forms, they don't remember me saying that, and they want me to just talk to the attorney.
I trusted them to listen to me and protect my rights and interests in this. I am so Screwed right now.

My own experiences (with a really high price law firm) was next to flawless. I did have to change lawyers in the middle though, because one of them decided to leave. But other than that, it was great.
Really, the last thing anybody needs in a divorce is for your lawyer to slip something that big up.

I am still praying that they recognize this as a mistake and file for an insurance claim.
I'm waiting for the lawyer to call. Keep me in your prayers and thanks for the support.

So not only do i have a brand new loan giving my husband 30K, but now I still owe him $30 to 35K more with nothing to borrow against.
They don't admit to making a mistake, and were very careful not to admit to making a mistake. I can see if I paid alimony I'd be paying him $800 to $1000 a month for life so she does have a great point.
$30K is cheap stacking against 150 to 250K but I don't have $30K go give him.
On the other hand, I certainly know about being frugal. I'm not going to let him beat me. I will find some way to pay this off. And I'm still free from his physical and emotional abuse. I'm not afraid of him beating me to death any more. I will find a way to get through this.
I certainly appreciate everyone's support. Please keep me in your prayers.

I'm hoping I can get a loan on my 401K to pay off the rest of the award to him.
The Lord is good. Its all worth it to be free. All the things I've learned will only help me to beat this.
Thank you so much for your concern.
