By the way, I’d not put it past W that she’s digging for information to use against you in negotiations. Don’t show your hand. She’s not on team Rockon.

Send all that negotiating to your lawyer. The kids are grown. Likely just a house and alimony to figure out. And you are prepared to buy her out, so not much left to discuss.

Again, say nothing, treating this as a business deal gone sideways.

And letting her feel the loss.
