Please let R know that I will not pay any more to her firm and I will not sign if she charges a single dime to Kathleen --period the end. Her advice and counsel cost Kathleen by my estimates at least $15M. Also every single piece of furniture art etc was not only paid by me I also picked most of it out. I want just a few pieces and family pictures - she won't object to the few things I want-  I'm positive. I will not sign anything without every one of my books. I want the Jonathan Adler sunroom couch and chair. The idea that's asking a lot surely doesn't reflect the 250K she spent on a house I can't be in- or draining our tax account or taking every free dollar we had and spends it on herself or the ridiculous  purchases she made while planning this divorce. 

As for Buhles ---  she still does not understand that it is a gift and must be and always will be as it is designated as such in a document signed by the Buhles and filed with the mortgage company. Rebekah you are so f'ing obtuse and sophomoric. I will not explain this again. I will also not explain why it is insane that a certain bank account held jointly by certain people was re-designated  as an personal account for one individual alone because the bank received a forged document.  I assume R advised her to proceed in this manner. In now realize that Kathleen without R would have been 3X as secure financially and I'd be able to do business and my kids wouldn't be so embarrassed. Really fucked up.

Please send R this email in full and Cc me. Until then I am eagerly awaiting her apology and explanation of why Kathleen should not sue her for malpractice.

Kathleen is willing to take on the prospective debt, and only asks that Hunter pay the payments from April 2015 through present, which total $9,600.  We have added that in the list of debts, so Hunter does not have to concede any facts, he just would agree to pay that amount.

>>>>> -Art:  We do not want to do a distribution of the art.  Kathleen picked it out and purchased it.  If there are one or two pieces of art he wants, we can talk about them, but we are not going to agree to a lottery or equal distribution of the art. 
>>>>>  
>>>>> -Life insurance:  Hunter needs to maintain it throughout his alimony obligation to Kathleen.  If the policy premiums increase, he will need to find another policy.  This security is vital to Kathleen who will be relying on the income from Hunter. 
>>>>>  
>>>>> -Tax exemptions:  Kathleen should get these according to IRS rules.  I know they are transferrable, but we do not see any reason to do so in this case. 
>>>>>  
>>>>> -Attorney’s fees/CPA fees:  Our understanding all along was that Hunter would be paying our fees and Debbie’s fees.  Both of us have floated Kathleen relying on that.  It is not fair now to shift that to Kathleen, when the understanding from day 1 was that Hunter would be paying.  And, it is only fair as they have been a one pot family up until now.
