Good Old England

[Big Bruce]

Hi,
I am contemplating sending the following message:

Good afternoon W,
How is your week going? Hope all's good.
I realize my last email was too general and perhaps difficult to respond to. You on the other hand have asked precise questions about the share you want.

Although not being comfortable about sending numbers by email, I will try and answer as best as I can, and I would like to have your opinion on it and a dialogue. I was thinking of an equitable division of assets and a change in spousal support.

The formula would be like : Household goods + money gotten from the appartment + assets as of 23rd Nov. 2012 - Applicable deductions = Sum A for you and Sum B for me.

This calculation is applied for each one of us, and half of the difference of the Sums (1/2 (Sum B -Sum A), would be given to the one with lower Sum number, to make it even.

Does this look something like you think would be acceptable? Is there anything you see missing?

[PS. You also asked about documents, and I have the notary documents, bank statements, etc.. and I'm only asking to show these to you.]
In the same time, given that you were working while in France i.e. self-sufficient, and having completed the degree you came to Canada to finish, I would propose a suspension of the spousal support. I would drop the compensatory claim of having to move to Canada for the advancement of your education and career, as well as the contribution of my dad's work adding value to the apartment, or any other consideration or unequal division claims, etc..
The child support would of course continue as well as the special expenses.

I'm looking forward to your input and I'm receptive to your comments and proposition,
Take care,
Bruce

I really feel like saying: what do you want? take it!
And be over with.


I am so frustrated. Argh.
What do you think of this second email? W should at least say yes or f* off, but she had to reply, right?


Catch you later,
Bruce
