Focusing on me (The Mikey B story Part 3)

[mikeyb]

So I spoke with an attorney today, I could go for part of the marital portion of the 401k, half the stocks (all marital), plus half the cell phone bill, and even try to obtain bridge the gap support for me having to incur moving expenses. In which case my expenses would be about $3500ish to complete and anywhere from 60-180 days ti finalize. Which would leave me gaining appox. $3000 after attorney fees. Now I could also email my W and say I spoke with an attorney, this is what I can and will pursue if you choose to go this route or we can agree to paying half the bill, and half the stock and call it a day to which if she agreed I would gain approx $3500 since I wouldn't need attorney fees.

So my thought was an email like this in an attempt to negotiate:

W,

I spoke with an attorney so I can understand my rights through this. If you choose to pursue this route this is what I was advised I can and will pursue:
1) Half the marital portion of your 401K - my 401K balance (Balance unknown)
2) Half of the stock balance ($5,810 / 2 = $2,905)
3) Half of the cell phone bill ($1600.84 / 2 = $800.42)
4) Bridge the gap support for expenses incurred (Unknown at this time)

I am still willing to work with you on this and this is my new proposal:

1) Half the stock balance ($5,810 / 2 = $2,905)
2) Half of the cell phone bill ($1600.84 / 2 = $800.42)
3) And return of my belongings

Please respond with how you will like to proceed.
