mrsbrownI'm glad we're only throttled off-peak at the moment.
I can't surf!
It's 5am, and I'm awake. But I can't surf!
But I can tell you that amongst the things I'm currently worried about, the woman I met last night seems to have inserted herself as something else for me to worry about.
She's lived in a defacto relationship for 16 years, had 3 children and has never had any of the family assets in joint owenership. Her name is not on the title for ANY of the multiple houses they seem to have owned. Even the house her sister put money towards buying for their mother is solely in his name.
I'm sure my mother and I talked about Sexually Transmitted Debt, when I was about 17. But this is sort of the opposite.
Now they are separated and the law doesn't recognise the common ownership of the assets that it would if they had been married. She has to go to court to get anything (despite having full custody of the children)
I think that if he wants to deny that it was a marriage, she should sue him for back paid wages. Shes been his nanny, housekeeper and escort for at least 12 years (the age of their eldest child). That's at least $200+$200+$1000 per week or $436 800.
Also,she kept on talking about how she had nothing. But didn't include her obviously fabulous work skills in her personal list of assets. And was too drunk and focussed on complaining to hear me when I tried to tell her. I just got a nod from across the table.
There. That's what's been keeping me awake. Can I go to sleep now?
