Would you come back to this thread if you were the OP?0 -
My ex and I divorced years ago. We had both been lucky enough to have generous parents who had helped us, not with the house but things like paying for us to go on holiday with them, and our first second hand car, some nice new furniture and a piano that my ex's parents bought us (although I am the one who plays). We didn't split these gifts into which parent paid, we put them together with everything else (eg I had the piano etc). It would have been far too messy otherwise0

There's a huge difference when you are married to the OP's situation0 -

No one on this thread, other than the OP, is entitled to any of the £40k though so you are correct that it would be a pathetic attempt from anyone else posting here to try and claim any of it.
The OP said right at the very beginning that (s)he was not interested in the £40k gift but that doesn't mean a) (s)he's not legally entitled to it, and b) that it can't be used as leverage in the negotiations.0 -

Indeed. She would be very savvy to include it in the negotiation and get something in return for abandoning it. If she intended to do this all along she's thereby conceding nothing in return for something.0 -

What are you on about. Of course nobody on here can claim the money. If that's the best you can come back with you need to take a little longer when you next respond.
With regards to your second statement, I already gave credit to the OP for that so you bringing it up was a waste of your time.0 -

Oh dear David can you not remember what you posted just a couple of hours ago? You intimated that some people on here i.e. the forum, would be pathetic enough to go after the £40k. I was merely agreeing that any attempt by anyone posting on the thread, other than the OP of course, would be pathetic.davidwood681 wrote: »With regards to your second statement, I already gave credit to the OP for that so you bringing it up was a waste of your time.
You might find my second statement a waste of your time but it won't be a waste of the OP's time if (s)he ever comes back to the thread.davidwood681 wrote: »Luckily, I don't think the OP is pathetic enough to pursue any of the 40K.
Some on here are though
What is it about my advice that is upsetting you so much? Why the need to try and make some sly dig?0 -
