Interesting, I just got another email from her called divorce request with the following info:

I don't want to move back there. I want a divorce and here are the things I respectfully ask that you agree to:

1. Joint/shared 50-50 custody of daughter. One week on, one week off, rotating holidays. No child support for either of us. For child care, future field trips, other expenditures, even split of payment.
2. Refinance or sell the house. Proceeds from the house can be split in half, with you additionally recouping the principle you paid in while I didn't live there (from Feb 09 onward).
3. I will pay the following bills: my car payment, my credit card payment, and my personal loan. I have no other debts besides mortgage & home equity loans.
4. I would like you to pay the following bills: your car payment, the mortgage, the home equity loan, your Visa, your club card, and any other debt you've incurred since I moved out.
6. We each keep our own retirement with no claim on the other's income.
7. You may continue to claim daughter as a dependent on your taxes for as long as you're receiving dependent rate BAH.
9. For daughter's 529, we can either split the prepaid college payment evenly or as long as you're paying the payment, I will purchase a $100 savings bond for her each month.

If we can come to an agreement on these items, we can do the paperwork ourselves and save a bunch of money on legal bills. Please let me know your concerns.

Let's keep this civil if we can, ok? Thanks


Ok, this email makes me believe that she in fact does not have a lawyer and I will not respond to this until I have consulted mine. While some of these terms may agreeable to me, the one that is not is the split custody of our daughter moving back and forth from one week to the next. That is not fair to her and this arrangement will not work once I get an assignment.

Thoughts? And no, I will not respond until I talk with my lawyer.
