My first wife, we had no children and were married for about 7 years wanted alimony, the house and acreage, and for me to keep a half mil life insurance policy on myself with her as the sole beneficiary and I was not allowed to cancel it. I counter sued her for adultery and beat her in deposition. I kept the house and acreage, paid her 30K less expenses, which amounted to about 17K, and the best part, I was over and across the street from her parents, and the house and acreage used to belong to her mother's brother....
When my attorney handed them the PI report, which of course she denied there was adultery.... and we broke for lunch, they came back and settled. It was awesome. Every pic they had of her was her staring right at them!!
PI asked me what I did for a living. When I told him I was an accountant, he said I was int the wrong line of work.
This is the basis of my comment, its a game, play to win!! And do whatever you have to do to win. You can be an upstanding citizen later. This is life and death. Literally. You will lose your mind dealing with domestic relations court, and I will guarantee you this, SHE WON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT STICKING IT TO YOU!!
