Answer:
There are many variables involved in divorce cases which cause different answers to the same question. Since this is a pending matter and many factors could be involved, he should consult his attorney for advice in his particular case. If he does not have an attorney and feels he is being jerked around, he might consider hiring one to assist. Sorry we could not be of more assistance.
