“Lawyer? Frank* wants out.”
So began the conversation that led to my current project: dividing the assets of Ruth*and Frank*, each of them ninety years old, married for fifty years, who decided this past weekend that they want a divorce. Do we do family law? No, we do not. Did Lawyer assign their marital dissolution to me anyway? Yes, he did.
Dark silver lining: if I drag my feet enough on this, they may not need a divorce.
Other scintillating projects include one pension plan adoption, two pension plan terminations, a nonprofit dissolution, and several real estate transfers. Is it any wonder I’m about as motivated as . . . as . . . as something really unmotivated?
I have been knitting, and photos will go up soon. Tomorrow, maybe. If I can find the motivation.

They must be really pissed at each other to cause such upheaval at this late date. Maybe each was waiting for the other to kick??

Geez. What is this world coming to when it takes you 50 years to figure out that you’re not right for each other?

I’m with Annika on this one… obscenely funny. Sure makes you wonder though…

…maybe they were staying together for the children’s sake…(my rather pathetic attempt at gallows humor)
