I want to share a bit about my experience in my dealings with Ms. Wonka and my legal team.
When it came right down to the sale of the house, it was a very difficult time for emotionally and mentally. I instructed my legal team to inform Ms. Wonka's legal team that Ms. Wonka was not to communicate with me at all during the entire process.
Ms. Wonka did contact me directly and I did not respond to her. I just informed my lawyers that Ms. Wonka did communicate with me and I asked them to tell her to back off. Then after that, Ms. Wonka did not try to communicate with me at all throughout the negotiations and all of the attendant legal stuff.
My lawyers were there to protect my best financial interests with the added benefit of being my buffer in all of the dealings with Ms. Wonka. Lawyers do protect you in several ways.
