iwitw,
Thanks. It's the last minute greed that got to me. Someone who wants to split everything 50-50 is like the proverbial person who "wants to meet you half way" except the problem is they think they're already there.

What also got to me is that the nonsense and re-writing history is now going into the record. For example:

STBXW: "I did not leave!" Excuse me?

STBXW's L: "this case is unlike others where one party simply deserts the marital asset leaving the other to pay for all costs." Excuse me, again? This is exactly what happened!

Oh well, I already learned in my first divorce and in my child custody case years ago that once you enter the courtroom - even after the oath is taken - truth is irrelevant and bald-faced, scandalous lies abound.

Justice? Ppffftt!!!

Winning is all that matters.

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
