My ex had filed but we never discussed negotiations for about 4 months. I came home from my cottage one weekend and on the way home I decided I wanted to know the breakdown. I got home and she was in the bedroom in bed. I went to the filing cabinet and got each of our paystubs. I walked in and said this is what I want:
50/50 custody Marital home I’d buy her out Added up two take home pays divided by two and told her I would give her the difference Gave her the choice of the cars one had payment one didn’t Told her to take anything from house but my two TVs and I didn’t want the kids rooms touched. Also I didn’t want martial bed. She said ok. I went downstairs. Divorce negotiated.
You have to start somewhere. Maybe you’ll be surprised
