Completly understand equitable distribution, however this is not about that really. The only reason he would due as such would be for these reasons.My best friend is involved in getting a divorce. They are not wealthy and she will not cooperate. He is attemting to be amicable she is not . He wants a no contest divorce in florida she will not give in to his excessively minimal seetlement offer basically she gets everything house kids(not his)better car, furnishings(30k), all home improvements he did manually(60k). All he wants is pre-marital stuff his tools and 10k. She offered 5k which is unacceptabe. The problem is that they are stuck cohabitating and she goes out of her way daily to make his life miseable ex. takes batteries from themostat(no ac)turns off tv whenever he watches, takes his stuff, berates and belittles him ect...How can he fight fire with fire and not get his but kicked in court please help. So if he took everything she would be very uncomfortable, this is the point. It would all be in storage until divorce is final then divided per divorce.But if he leaves the home for sanity reasons he has abandoned all rights to home. So this way he has something of value or better yet one hell of a bargaining tool. He is not interested in making her life miserable only she his. I am just looking for a way for him to keep his sanity.
