Wow, the oldtimers aren't kidding when they say to expect spewing attacks. Here's H's reply to my email asking for paperwork and 1/2 of what he took out of his fund:

That's really nice. Thanks a lot. First, I told you I was going to "cash out" some of my retirement before I did and you didn't say a word or bother to reply to my email. Second, I got the money exactly so that I could pay your alimony until I had a paycheck coming in (as well as my bankruptcy attorney and truck repairs so that I can GET to work). But I suppose you are going to demand BOTH 1/2 my retirement AND $900 a month. Anyway, I was going to put a check for $3600 in the mail today (which is 1/2) to pay alimony through March and I'm still going to do that. I'm sure you and your lawyer will enjoy taking more from me when that time comes.

Ohhh, I'm supposed to be "nice" - oops - my bad. I guess now is the time for me to respond with the classic "I'm sorry you feel that way"?

dncrm: Thanks for your post. Last summer we agreed to take out a small amount of his retirement fund to help us both out. I'm the beneficiary so I had to sign and have it notarized then he had to drive to his former place of business to also sign in person - then mail it to the main company (it's retirement stock). What my L and I don't understand is how this time he apparently was able to withdraw funds without any of the above process, including not getting my signature. OR, he might have another account that I know nothing about and one that he didn't disclose at mediation. As you can see, his email is very defensive.

Pearl: Douchebag! I haven't heard that term in a long time! Makes me feel 15 again! But seriously, careful with the plies. Only do demi plies not grand plies. In the demi you keep your heels on the floor - a grand plie goes much lower and the heels lift up - it's also harder on the knees. Always remember, a plie is a stretch not a drop - stay tall and resist when bending, it will work your quads more. How's that for your first lesson!

But back to H's email. I'm not letting this one go without a response. Any suggestions? Oldtimers, I'd appreciate some input.
