Swimming upstream...PH #7

[pearlharbr]

Thanks for worrying about my future Amy. I have thought about it and believe it will be ok since I have asked for the financial settlement to be drawn up now before we start anything else. We have agreed in principal to how to split everything up and I asked xBF to put it on paper. I think I may call him some time this week to discuss getting this done before we go out on Sunday.

Since we are not married, it's complicated legally. I have had a consultation with a lawyer to discuss these issues. Bottom line is that I can sue him for what I want, but it will cost a lot of money so the lawyer recommended trying to come to an agreement on our own. I didn't put any money into the business to begin with, xBF just wrote up the paperwork that way. And he points out that the business is losing money because they can't keep the houses rented so as a partner I should be putting money into the business.

So part of me wants to wait and see what he comes up with and the other part wants to draw up my own paperwork because I don't trust him to do it.
