Claire Dumpitiy has finally had it with Phil Dumpitiy's shenanigans, and, after years of squabbling and disharmony, Claire decides to finally call it quits and file for a divorce. She has moved to Lansing, Michigan, so the divorce filing is in that area. She comes to you, her long- time legal advisor, to act as her attorney to set up and represent her with the caveat that she wants this settled through mediation. She mentioned several reasons for the divorce. Phil has become an alcoholic, has treated her as a know-nothing, refuses to allow her to be involved in any financial decisions, to the point he is nearly mentally abusive, and has become person who treats all women as inferior. For some time, Phil has become financially irresponsible. He has not been paying bills he should have, including car payments resulting in repossession. He has missed utility payments resulting in shut off notices. In order to keep the family home Claire has made all mortgage and property tax payments for the last 2 years. In addition, their children Haley's Comet and Alexia are just entering college and Claire has been the sole parent to guarantee their college loans. Phil says girls should not go to college, just stay home and have families. While Claire has always worked hard, all her money has gone to pay bills and take care of the kids. Phil has stashed most of his checks in his 401K plan, which is now valued at over $180,000 and is fully vested. Claire only has a small 401k through her dad's business where she works, valued at $20,000 and she is not vested in it for another 10 years. The house has been listed for sale at $180,000, with a $140,000 mortgage, but there have been no offers, and it is in a state of disrepair. They each have a car with payments, and the furniture is pretty basic old and worn. Phil refuses to get an attomey, saying he knows more than they would about the law anyway. He claims that as it is only his earnings which went into his 401K plan, that Claire is not entitled to any of it. Even though the agent has had several showings with no offers, Phil will not consider any offers less than the $180,000 he thinks is worth. Just this week a couple went thru the house and indicated they might pay $150,000 if Phil and Claire fixed the roof
