Yes, I want to be fair. Money and greed can bring out the worst in us I think. I am considering a 65 (him)/35 split, which based on the value of our jointly owned house, would allow me to live comfortably, although as one gets older (and I'm already old!) who knows what's in store, and probably no amount of money would be sufficient in the worst circumstances. I would love the divorce to be amicable, and for us not to go to court but I fear that we will end up there. This communication is very helpful for me to put everything into perspective. You seem like a knowledgeable and fair-minded person. Would you mind if I continue to communicate with you?
