I think you were right to ask for half the lawyer's fees, that makes sense to me. But unfortunately, it seems to have triggered a nickel and dime p!ssing match with your W.
My personal opinion is that I'd say, sure W, I can pick up half of this book if you are tight on money right now, but going forward, I don't want to have to track who's paying what for the small stuff. I think it's been working well the way it was, why don't we just keep it that way. And see what she says. If I were her I wouldn't mess with what she's got going right now.
I'm sure there are other people out there who are actually in the thick of this sort of thing, hopefully they'll overlook my unintentional attempt to monopolize your thread and chime in here for you.
