Where in the world did that come from !!!

Yeah I know I should, deep down I'm hesitant to though, you know it's just that it's the next step to the big bang.

When her and BIL had to move out of their rented house 6 weeks ago W said she might take the couch (she bought & is paying for it) because BIL's would not fit. I asked her not to and said it was because it has a fold out bed and we might need it for visitors. What I was really thinking was that this is the first bit of "our stuff" that she's taking and I didn't want it to happen. She took it anyway while me & kids were away.

Not sure what the legalities of D are in USofA, but here law will say 50/50 after 10 years (including Suparannuation). I guess at the very least I should be getting a list of exactly what she is taking.

In theory the 50/50 goes right down the line. I've always paid the mortgage, rates and all utilities. Even though she's not here, if things go nasty and we have to sell up she will wind up with half the house value which I've been paying for alone.

But I know I have to look after me and the kids so I guess I really have to get some professional advice.
