Is it usual for one party to make less and less favourable offers as a final hearing approaches? I've been trying to negotiate with my ex who is represented (I am lip) but whilst my offers are becoming more favourable to the other side theirs are becoming more demanding. I'm not sure how I'm meant to negotiate with someone who refuses to make any compromises and in fact just keeps asking for more?

It is possible where legal fees are being incurred.

For instance if it costs £15,000 to get from FDR to final hearing, it would make sense to offer some of that money in advance in order to save spending it. If the offer is rejected the money gets spent and there is less to offer over all.
