I'd be asking for half of them in the divorce or half the race entry fees for as many as I could track. My ex demanded half of my scrapbooking supplies… in a separate letter from his attorney that I had to pay my attorney to respond to. Don’t lose sight of the goal. The big picture is a divorce with a fair and equitable financial outcome. Petty games can pay petty prizes. Did you have to give him half? I would pettily have bagged up all the scraps and half-used tape and ribbon edge scissors and dumped them on his doorstep. But NOT THE BASIC GREY!

Hope you offloaded all your poo brown and acid lime green papers, loud and offensive stickers where the adhesive has gone brown and stained the top of the sticker, bottles of fabric flowers, brads, fraying ribbon, half used and dried out glitter pastes, scratched up and warped die cutting pads, alpha sets with only j/x/z’s left, glitter paper pads where they didn’t use enough glue and so the glitter falls off everywhere any time you even look at them, any and all wedding and love themed papers and embellishments and non sticky tape rolls 😇 Creativity knows no bounds like a woman scorned, am I right?!?

My supplies stayed intact. It was a petty bluff on his part and one of many. So much time, energy, and emotion wasted on stupid stuff. Two and a half years of that idiocy. He even changed his attorney before the end of it. My theory is the previous guy got tired of the pettiness and wouldn't "do his bidding." Hang in there, Just T. Stay focused on the end goal.

Is that likely to be granted? I bloody well hope so! OMG, can you imagine how pissed off he would be! My attorney seems to think it will be granted. One of the things I was told when I first filed was that neither party can have big expenditures, run up credit cards, etc once it's been filed. Many of his trips certainly should count as big expenditures. At a minimum each medal costs $1000-$2000, and for sure Kenya thousands... I found a breakdown of all the fees associated with the trip he took to Antarctica in March. I figure he spent at least $25-30 thousand on that trip alone. Don’t lose sight of the goal. The big picture is a divorce with a fair and equitable financial outcome. Hang in there, Just T. Stay focused on the end goal. I'm trying!

I have thought about being petty and having all the many tools he has that take up almost our entire garage and asking for half of their value. LOL

My theory is the previous guy got tired of the pettiness and wouldn't "do his bidding." I've seen that happen. I've also seen the other person "give in" when switching up lawyers didn't work so the petty person resorted to begging to get what they wanted. Because there are kids involved it's an ongoing thing. Every time they give in we start all over again as the other person knows they can get what they want if they push long enough. Stay strong! I have thought about being petty and having all the many tools he has that take up almost our entire garage and asking for half of their value. LOL That's not petty, that's division of assets. You're entitled to half their value. (I'm not a lawyer, nor did I stay in a holiday Inn Express last night but I'd be bringing it up to your lawyer!)

I admire the way you're handling this. It's so smart to not let him know what you know.
I hate that you have to wait so long for this to be resolved, but this gives your forensic accountant more time to find all of the credit cards and bank accounts that he has used to pay for all those trips both for himself and for his girlfriend.

It sounds like he's trying to just wear you down. His lawyer will probably play along as long he's paying the hourly bill. Delay, delay delay and hope that you just get tired of it all. I hope you are in a decent state. Growing up in a community property state, I didn't realize just how terrible some states are with division of assets. Best of luck to you!

I am so invested in you getting as much justice as possible.
I care more about you than I did about the dang chair.

I had to chuckle at the one medal, "Race Local" Are you hoping to stay in the house?

I was going to get half the value of my ex’s tools, but everything was conveniently “stolen” off the trailer. I suspected that one of his buddies from Narcotics Anonymous hid them for him.
I’ll never know because he unexpectedly died just 11 days after the final divorce decree. All his sneaky secrets went to the grave with him.

I don't think scrapbook supplies and the costs of these things is comparable and I meant while negotiating not added. That many races is tens of thousands of dollars and would be worth, to me, paying a couple thousand.

In division of assets everything is fair game. Tools are expensive and as a newly divorced woman who was supposed to get half the tools, but the asshole took them all, you will need some. Petty was my idiot xh wanting half the spices and half the silverware
