Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:
Den and Angie were married for 17 years, until Den skipped off with their treasured poodle Roly. As they moved from pub to pub, they’ve had a lot of mortgages and Angie being a MoneySaver has been doing her MEAF Reclaiming. All in all she’s got £350 back… yet these were joint properties with Den and they ran the businesses together… should she give him half.

Mortgage - too big to comprehend!
CC debt - none! :beer:
I agree with previous poster - keep the money and buy herself a new poodle (less trouble than a husband ... only joking!)
I'm thinking of a death where the "on hand" niece took control of the dead aunt's tortoise and the other niece wanted it!
The joy of money is that a price can be put on most things.
Half that money belongs to the husband, now is the time to negotiate the "value" of the poodle. Get a receipt.

I recon he ran off with the barmaid; would a poodle fancier have got married in the first place?
Is it just me or is there a tendency for women to get more fixated about "things" in these circumstances: jewellery, ornaments, paintings, even plants in the garden?
"Angie sounds like she's done all the work to get the money back in the first place."
What work would that be? Ive seen it demonstrated on a Wednesday evening TV programme; seems it takes about 10 minutes
He'd probably only squander the money on women and booze anyway. The poodle will be back when the prime meaty chunks get replaced by leftover kebab.
I wouldn't call that squandering!:beer:
