Sarah, in advance of our call tomorrow, I am resending the narrative I sent a few weeks back.  We can discuss more tomorrow but I want to caution that the below narrative is only accurate if there are no unexpected expenses (personal or business)  and if the business continues to generate the same revenue it is currently.  There are some sources of revenue that are month-to-month and that could change Hunter’s income.  That is, Hunter’s “salary” from Owasco, PC isn’t fixed in a long-term way.

I can also give you an idea of the money that has been moved from the discretionary account over the past six months or so.   Talk to you tomorrow.  Best,  Eric

-------------

Hunter has two sources of regular ordinary income.  A salary from Boies Schiller and a salary paid to him by Owasco, P.C. 

His Boies Schiller (approx. $212,000) goes into Hunter and Kathleen’s joint Wells Fargo Advisors account and that money directly funds Finnegan and Maisy’s tuitions at Sidwell and a couple of household autopays.  There is very little left from that check each month.

Putting aside the Boies salary, Owasco, P.C. receives $143,333.00 a month which includes his Directors Fees from Burisma.

After you subtract Owasco, P.C. related expenses, there is $130,000 a month left that is paid out to Hunter in the form or salary or bonus.

After taxes (using a 45% tax rate), that leaves approx. $71,500 a month for Hunter and Kathleen’s personal expenses.

After you account for $24,000 of auto-pays (mortgage, car payments, etc) and additional monthly bills that are not on autopay ($10,000), that leaves Hunter and Kathleen with $37,500 a month for discretionary spending.   

For this purpose we would define discretionary spending as food, entertainment, clothes, unplanned house related expenses, spending money for the their kids, etc.

As for TD account I have no interest in sharing the account details with her unless she provides a full accounting of all bank accounts she now holds in her name soley also.

The office does not have all the information we need, as evidenced in part by the fact that the budget they prepared falls far short of the $2.4 million that Hunter earned last year (per the tax returns).  In short, they do not know where the rest of the money is or went.

Although you and Hunter have both communicated that you want to do this process amicably and fairly, a bare minimum of good faith would involve immediately proposing an amount of money to be transferred regularly to Kathleen and letting her know when that will happen.  Hunter continues not to make any such proposal.

But I sent him a comprehensive email explaining where we are and the requests Kathleen has made for statements and retainers for you and Debbie May.  Hunter confirmed he would have his office make available both the requested statements and money for the retainers. I asked him to take care of that ASAP. I will let you know as soon as I have that from him.
