Details: (especially for you lawyerly types)

Yes, this is the 2.86 carat girl. We bought a house at the time of the marriage (3-10-01). House has increased in value around $80k in the last year, so she gets half. Small amount of debt we are both responsible for. She shut down the flower business and now works as a teacher's assistant at our kids' private school making $8 an hour. No kids from the marriage.

Bottom line: I was only on the line for around $35k, but I just don't have the stomach to drag this thing out for months and months. My attorney gets $325 an hour, hers gets about the same. $12k goes by *real* fast. I just wanted her out of the house, so was willing to give her any amount (within reason) to accomplish that. Otherwise, all my money would be going to the damn attorneys (no offense Paul). I gave her her blood money and now she'll be on her way to stick it to someone else in this plastic area we live in.

I screwed up and would give anything to turn the clock back a year, but hey, live and learn. But you have to give me credit. She started with the "get rid of that eye-sore Porsche project, and get rid of those karts, and do you really need 3 motorcycles" crap almost right after we got married.....

I still have all my toys intact.!!!
