I guess the answer would be no, LA...but that's a loaded question for two reasons.
First, she isn't entitled to it legally. It doesn't belong to us, and it hasn't for quite some time. That is the brass tacks about it, regardless of how we paint it. A lot of what hasn't been mentioned here is the benefit W saw from the business. I mean we were given free property, free medical insurance, financial security. We even had free housing for 6 years, didn't even pay utilities. Now that we are parting ways, you don't see the business asking W to give back what the business contributed to her well being for the last 12 years. So is W being fair to my familes business???????
Second, even if she was legally entitled, the equity isn't there. I wouldn't think it was fair of D to want something she was not entitled to either. THAT IS what W is asking for. I mean even if we did have full rights to the house, even if we had made every payment, played our cards right and cashed in now....there would only be roughly $2500-$5000 availble to each of us....she is asking for 40 GRAND!
