When I was getting divorced, her attorney started talking about me paying alimony. I got on the phone and told her attorney that she should know that her client (my soon to be X wife) was crazy, and if she ever mentioned alimony again I would let the house go back to the bank, file bankruptcy and she would never get paid, because all the equity was in the house and property. Her attorney thought I was bluffing and told my attorney that. My attorney told her from knowing me and representing me, that I probably would carry out what I had outlined, and if he were her, the subject should be dropped.

I never heard anymore about alimony from that point. I wanted out, I was willing to pay half, and be fair. I wasn't willing to be taken advantage of, I had already been taken advantage of by a conniving, mentally ill, alcoholic, vindictive, nutcase.

That wasn't who I married 25 years before that, people do change, and they do deceive their partners. Mental illness is a progressive thing, add alcoholism, and things go south before you know it.

Rant over............

Yup
