Most cases settle. Most cases should settle and “settlement” is not a dirty word.
Court, despite preparations, always has a level of unpredictability. Witnesses who you thought would be great, are nervous and are not great. Evidence that you knew was significant was prevented from being used due to an objection. What you believed to be the facts morphed into something else because of other testimony.
The judge was cranky. The air conditioner broke. Your lawyer forgot to ask you a question.
Settlement eliminates the risk and unpredictability of Court. Also, you just may get the outcome you would have gotten without the stress, anxiety and burning bridges that sometimes comes with contested litigation.
Sometimes settling your case is the way to go.
Matthew Thompson is a litigation attorney in Mississippi and still advises that sometimes settlement is best.
It was a 15-year long marriage. For much of it Mike was unemployed. Eileen had had enough. Eileen had to pay Mike alimony based on their respective earnings, earning capacities and work histories.
5 months later Mike won $273 million dollars in the New Jersey lottery.
Upon learning of the win, Eileen said “He’s not appealing to me all of a sudden because he has this money.”
Mike responded, “$270 million does not make me appealing to her — that’s what she said?”
“It’s over with…I just want her to stop being in my life.”
While it appears no amount of money could salvage this relationship, Mike plans to salve his wounds with a new pickup truck, a vacation and listening to his lawyer.
Eileen has a basis to modify and possibly terminate her alimony obligations to Mike. Win, win.
