I got 99 problems but an MLCer ain't one!

[daring]

Job- thanks for the support. My business hat is most definitely on- I did push back hard on the financial pieces. As far as the IRS- he is responsible for half ( he created the d@mn mess!) but unfortunately if he can't pay it I'm still responsible for it. The D doesn't erase half of the debt for me. I don't want to risk defaulting on the payback so I'm making sure that I have it set aside.
I consulted a lawyer early on in this process but she was more for collaborative approaches. I'm going to retain a more aggressive one at this point.

LT- you are so right about these lawyers " leading" the MLCer. And since his empathy chip is currently broken he can't see the impact.
This is actually a draft that he was supposed to review and send back with his changes but he shared it with me for us to review.

He is backing up a bit now- he sent an email apologizing and the plan is to sit down this weekend and go through it and make changes.
I'm on guard though- as you said Job he is now the enemy and I am definitely angry. He can't afford to fight this out in court but I will not hesitate to go there if necessary.
