WAW and me in 11th hour!!!!

If your W is requesting a lump sum of money instead of the actual furniture you can let her know the $$ value of furniture is figured by: purchase price - 16% per year, each year.

TAKE THE OFFER TO KEEP THE FURNITURE AND GIVE HER A LUMP SUM. YOU WILL MAKE OUT MUCH BETTER!!!!

Unless your furniture is all brand new she will only probably get a few hundred dollars and since she requested it this way, it's all good!

Thanks CG, the only problem is that some is fairly new and was fairly expensive. My reply that I am working on will state that we agreed that the furniture would NOT be included in the assets discussion and that we had decided mutually to split it up. She has already received her very large check for half the assets and she is now trying to get even more money because of the logistics involved in dealing with the furniture as she prepares to move 1000 miles away.

I don't believe that she has a storage space and I also don't believe that she will stay there for just the summer so she is trying to be "generous" by letting me have the furniture and her being compensated for it. I'm going to call her bluff and if she wants to come and take some of the furniture and store it while she is gone then it will cost her money to have what she wants. The check I gave her back on March 5 is all the money I am planning on giving her. I now have to take care of me and the kids and the home that they grew up in and that they can come back to anytime and know that they will feel safe and loved.
