So, it won't be a whole lot of fun negotiating with a man whose entire job is sales, numbers, money, and who has to have a cutthroat mentality to make it to the top dog position and keep it as he has...
He had 2 questions on the draft. One was on the annual income we stated that he had. He said he doesn't make that much. Atty said he does with bonus income included and it is included when figuring child support.
So Dan says then why would I be offering you 25% of my bonus for the next 8 years if you are already taking support based on that? It would be double-dipping...
Mind you it was 100% HIS idea to give me part of his bonus checks, my atty said that NEVER happens so to take it and run. That means I can't enforce it if he doesn't want to do it... bummer. Looks like the bonus $$ will be included when calculating child support but now I won't be getting a percentage, too...
Then he says again there is no way he can pay me my lump payout in 30 days, he needs until May 1 to see how much he gets in bonus and tax returns. He wants to pay me off with tax and bonus money if he can so he doesn't dip into the 401k or sell cows...
My atty said that the 30 day number is not a legal requirement, it can be changed to May 1...just depends on whether I want to argue about it...
Deal is right now Dan has no attorney. If I push on more of this stuff he may get one and then it will take even longer and cost a lot more...grr...
