But I cant imagine that this action is going to help you. Seriously, youre claiming that you need to pay your brother $1000 for a month of sleeping on a couch? You could have rented your own place for practically that much. How is she going to take that as anything but trying to "get back at her"? Can you show where that $1000 number comes from? Is it broken down by shares of utilities, food, etc? Otherwise, it feels like an incredibly arbitrary (and large) amount.
Well, I guess that supports my contention that I'm terrible at DB. I thought the lawyer had a good idea, I guess not.
