He is very lucky in fact that I am NOT a vindictive, money grubbing, gold digging type of person. I could easily take 17K he gave me, pay a law firm and try to get much more money out of him. But the cost of doing so emotionally and timing-wise, makes it unappealing to me. I want this divorce to be over with and I do not want to cause delays. Sure, I could probably nail him and screw him to the wall over this ordeal, but then what? He will also seek revenge, I am sure, and it will become a battle and war... there's no point, and I am satisfied with the 17K he gave me.
