Into the Fire (LB55 thread 2)

[LB55]

I can't believe you're going to Goodwill and paying this "person" 7K a month to go screw off on a mountain. All that counting pennies is going to come bite her in the butt. And what's stopping her from, you know, earning her own money?

If you can only email on Sundays and she wants to take forever, I guess you'd have to file for an extension, and her refund may get delayed. That would be horrible.

Why in the name of God can't you go to your own house? I'm so lost on this, and obviously pissed. This is some backwards bull crap if I've ever seen it.

I love you making the cake. It doesn't have to be gourmet, but your kids won't remember that! Do you regularly work 14 hour days? That has to make it hard to GAL.

Here is the deal on one of this. She is asking for a monthly amount totaling $8875. This is her getting the income from both rental homes, $2k in alimony, $1800 in child support, and 1670 for some disability that doesn’t really affect her anymore. I get about $7250 a month which is you take out $3800 doesn’t leave me with a fair amount in my mind. The judge says that the rental homes could count for the alimony but she doesn’t think that’s fair. To be clear I paid her the child support money, she is taking all the rent, and I don’t feel bad for holding out on the spouse support. She isn’t eating ramen noodles.

Everything is a negotiation.

I enjoy shopping at goodwill, you would be amazed at some of the nice kitchen stuff people get rid of. Found a $100 frying pan for $3 the other day.

I don’t work 14 hour days, I start at 6 and leave about 4. I workout before I go home so I get home at 630 or so. Trying to alternate workouts and moving furniture.

We probably owe on taxes. She doesn’t know that yet.

Why can’t I go to the house? Well I had a restraining order filed against me, I think that is lifted, but since the temporders are still not filed with the court, we are kind of in limbo land so I don’t want to get in trouble. She has been adamant since the beginning that I not be allow d to return and get my things.

She did get me worked up tonight, said her lawyer gave her some great advice that she would pass on to me to help. He said ‘take the emotion out and treat it as a business transaction’. That may work for her. I sent a quick reply that while I respect her L opinion, my kids will never be referred to as a business transaction.
