Chapter 17 - DIVORCE DOES NOT GIVE ME HIS LIFE
I filed for divorce at thirty-three weeks pregnant.
No dramatic courthouse steps.
Electronic filing.
Attorney calls.
Temporary orders.
Our prenup remained valid.
My premarital condo:
Mine.
Nathan’s premarital Croft Hospitality shares:
His.
My design studio:
Mine.
Joint savings:
To be divided.
Marital home:
Joint equity under the formula we had agreed years earlier.
Infidelity did not automatically forfeit his property.
There was one financial issue connected to the affair.
Nathan spent marital funds.
Hotels.
Meals.
A bracelet for Maren.
Car service.
Total verified:
$18,740.
Not hundreds of thousands.
No secret offshore account.
My attorney requested an adjustment in property division for marital dissipation.
Nathan disputed some meals as business expenses.
Records separated them.
Eventually $14,980 was agreed as affair-related personal spending.
The court could account for the marital share.
That was the financial consequence.
Not:
