    Hoping they accept that 2nd offer Jack - you need this concluding today.

    I think your counter offer is far too generous but more than worth it if it brings an end to it all. Everything's crossed for you x
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hi, not commented before but followed for a long time.

    Im really shocked at the figures theyre asking for. Surely you have paid long enough already. Im feeling angry on your behalf :(

    Wow I can't believe how much she wants. Surely she should have some self respect and get off her bottom and go out to work!

    Just in and came straight here Jack before having to zoom out again.

    So many of us on edge and on watch for you.

    I am praying that RT is really fighting for you, showing every bit of your decency, restraint and refusal to be sucked in to their greed games[masked as anything but] and delays and deliberate provocation.

    I know that in the end it all comes down to shekels and you having to pay dear for your Freedom, with so much inseparable from ex's desire to punish you for daring to go.

    re: 'At least it's a long way from maintenance for life'....yes, but whose Life?
    We want Jack to have one.

    Drive home safely.

    Oh my word, I think you should have gone in with a lower offer and had you're first offer as a maximum one. Really hope she accepts the new offer you have made and this is an end to it for you.

    So next offer he's gone to them with is 210k 650/m for 3 years and car ?

    How are you going to live and pay off debts for the next 3 years while she's taking that much off you?

    Surprisingly Jack, I'm lost for words on this occasion. So in Victor Meldrew's words, 'I don't believe it'. I can only hope you have done remarkably better than your quick updates intimate. Sally

    Well no surprise no agreement my final offer was 210k, £650/m for 3 years and car for 3 years
    She wouldn't accept so will put it in writing she'll have 14 days to accept if not final hearing where judge will decide. Which will cost lots and take more out the pot so youd think she'd see sense but then......
    Regards
