So today I emailed my wife about our separation and the financial settlement. Which was not fun.

In short, she says I owe her a large sum of money and the solicitor I spoke to disagrees. It's going to be a nasty fight, unfortunately, and it's going to make the rest of the year pretty unpleasant.

I think I'll end up paying her some money, as I think it's right that I do so, but nowhere near the amount she believes.

Damn. Hopefully you don't have to pay alimony for life. That law really needs to change so that it automatically ends once the recipient remarries or moves in or dates another person (after all why should a guy/gal have to pay for their ex that is sleeping with another guy/gal?).

I just heard the most AWESOME conspiracy theory:

Time travel exists and was discovered (or given to the world) in the 1940s/1950s. The US uses it and it is known about by many high ups in the US Gov. The presidents that have been informed were Bush Senior, Bush, Obama, (and almost every President since the mid 1970s). Here's the kicker, each of the presidents are given briefings that outlines the big decisions that they must make to ensure that some unknown future could exist. Whats even more insane is that the Presidents are brief when young.

This of course leads to several questions: What was the future really like before the time travelers started handing out Presidential scripts? And what happens when a president goes off script?

Hah, actually it's more likely to be the other way around, as she earns far more money than I do.

No, the issue is over how she helped me out by supporting me whilst I cleared my debts. Now that I've cleared them and we've split up, she's demanding the money she spent supporting me back in one go (which I can't afford without taking out a costly loan).

However (and this is where it gets a little crazy) she's also trying to up the amount she says I owe her to include a share of the bills and other living expenses accrued during the marriage. Now, legally speaking, she has no right to do this. So it's going to get a bit nasty.

Also, as yet I haven't made a claim on any of the assets of the marriage, like the car she bought about 8 months ago. So it's a big mess and is going to get messier.

I have a copy of the Pathfinder Bestiary. I have not had much chance to look through it though. I am too busy working on a project for one of my classes.

And they are denying this just like they do Area 51?

where da heck you been? Good to see you around again Darth.

Like always the government is not talking about it, but the guy who claims to have been part of that conspiracy is trying to get Clinton and other people in government he states were involved to talk (since "time travel" basically uses star gates which could be used for transportation).

Dude... HIGH FIVE! If you lived in the United States, she would be BONED the moment she gave you financial assistance especially since she would have to admit that in court. Doing so basically sets her up to having to automatically pay spousal support to you.

she's also trying to up the amount she says I owe her to include a share of the bills and other living expenses accrued during the marriage. Now, legally speaking, she has no right to do this. So it's going to get a bit nasty.

Unless she made a loan that is legally documented, most sane judges would rule that she can't claim any damages (since in 99% of the divorces which men are the primary breadwinner the same exact situation always benefits the wife). After all, by assisting you financially she basically is opening her bank account to being considered common property. (Which is why its never a smart idea to marry someone in debt, or having a joint account, or start paying off your wife/husbands credit cards).
