You are right. He is a very, very smart man. Even if he makes stupid stupid choices.
No I don't think for a second he would give me the farm, but a)The farm doesn't belong to him, it belongs to his parents, so he couldn't anyway
MORE IMPORTANTLY b)This smart, manipulative man has known me since I was around 12 and been with me since I was 16. More than half my life at this point. He KNOWS me. You guys have known me for almost 2 years and already I am sure you know I wouldn't ask for the farm. I would ask for what is fair and right in my eyes. I am not going to take his expensive tools, farm equipment, etc. because I would have no clue what to do with them. And I am not the 'spiteful, take it to piss him off' type, either. If you guys know that, then you know HE does too.
I just want *My time with my kids *My house *Primary physical custody which is a given with his work schedule *The bulk of the household furniture *My vehicle *Monthly support equal to what I get now (although he is offering $1000 more a month than I get now and I agreed) *A nice pile of cash up-front to offset the cattle stuff and his 401K. He can sell whatever he wants or take out a loan, I don't care which. I don't want the stuff, I want the financial security.
