OK well thanks to your advice I think this might be good for me... - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 07:46 17

    - part of the problem is she makes hardly any money. -- nm - loosilu Sep 13, 07:50 6
      - doesn't matter. She wants to live like an adult means she needs to take care of things like an adult. But I can see paying a little now just to get - Remlik Sep 13, 08:12 3
        
        the key is the second part. He needs to jettison her. Otherwise she will keep coming back for more. -- nm - loosilu Sep 13, 08:14 2
        
        she's going to do that anyway -- nm - sycor Sep 13, 08:24 1
        
        i would actually bet money that 3 months from now, she's out of his life. - Andie Sep 13, 08:29
      - Yes and the fact I wont get stuck with alimony but all the bills, I can live with that and its sort of worth a little cash up front to - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 08:05 1
