You got to keep a t-shirt and a mug?! You must have had a better lawyer than me...
I ended up with virtually everything...except the bank account...she stole that probably the day she left (I was surprised to find out the account was closed when I went to see what we had to split it with her. I also got to keep the debt she created on my credit cards...but, much to her surprise, I did not get the debt from her 6 (yes 6) maxed out credit cards..... also I lost a few CDs, she took those too when she left. She also had to take all her stuff and get a mover to take it and find a place to store it. She was also surprised that I would not let her store, what turned out to be a medium sized truck load of stuff in our apartment, which I also kept. The mover too was shocked since he was told it was only a few things.... he had to adjust her bill. My lawyer was not good t all, a matter of fact he retired before the case was finished and I had to switch lawyers. It was just I did not do what she thought I would do and she was also shocked that I got my own lawyer and did not share (aka pay for) the one she had hired. I also knew the law FAR better than she, or her boy friend, did and I was in no hurry so she pretty much messed it all up on her own, with the help of the new Boyfriend. I just had to watch. Of course in the meantime she wrote letter to everyone we knew telling then how much of a jerk I was, cold, lazy, not working and she felt like an enabler.... she also told virtually ever single person I knew professionally as well the same thing. The ones that mattered came to me and discovered I was going to school and working...not sitting around the house eating bonbons doing nothing.
