I talked with the person in my company who gave me the shares. He says that the valuation of company now is the almost exactly the same as what it was when I acquired the shares. So if W's lawyer wants to go after it, there is nothing that has increased. I will let W know this so that she does not head down a cheeseless tunnel causing me to lose friendship with her.

I really would find it hard to believe that the lawyer could claim a portion of any future success of my company that occurs after the D.

Now I suppose I should expect W's lawyer to ask for spousal support. I dont see how she can get it if she is living comfortably with OM. I am opposed to paying spousal support for a couple reasons - my W does not need it now and if spousal support is in the final D document then that means that if W hits hard times in the future, she could come back and have the spousal support increase.

I have no problem in being fair on child custody as I am already paying for my kids benefit.
