First, that book excerpt is wonderful.

Second, I've been blessed this month with the people who have reached out to me.

Third, the blessings continued this evening. A friend of mine used to practice family law. I've never talked business with him. I met he and his wife tonight and spilled my story. He said, do you realize if you buy another property she has you? In the absence of a marital separation agreement she can claim your house was 80/20, and you'll pay up just to get out of two mortgages. No. She moved out. You're the parent in the marital home. Without a MUTUAL agreement she's entitled to nothing. Not your pension. Not equity on the home, not support, nothing. Shut off her cards. Redirect your pay to a new account. She just signed a lease. Now she gets to pay it on her own. Three year wait and 10k for family court, and all you have to do is Not agree to any separation agreement. Force her hand and starve her out. She chose to leave a life of comfort at all your expense. No. Let it cost her.
