puppy, how do i handle the money discussion that will come tomorrow? he is going to be here and will demand money for what i have sold. i do not want to argue or engage him, i do not want to start a battle where i need to defend myself.
what do i do?
You say "I'll have to ask my attorney about that. It's my understanding that if I need to sell things in order to pay off our marital debt, that I'm perfectly within my rights to do so. I'll get back with you."
You also may want to point out to him that YOU have documentation to show what it was you spent the money on (paying off joint marital debts); can HE say the same thing about the items he took? If you pursue a financial settlement, EVERY DOLLAR is going to have to be accounted for, by both sides, in your financial disclosures.
