:03:05
What did he just say?
:03:27
Frances?
:03:29
Frances?
:03:33
I've got some
unfortunate news for you.
:03:37
I just got off the phone
with your husband's attorney,
:03:40
and they're going to
pursue alimony.
:03:46
How can we be talking
about alimony
:03:48
when I hardly make enough money?
:03:52
But you supported him
during the marriage.
:03:54
Yes.
:03:56
But while he was researching
and writing his book,
:03:59
I worked while
he pretended to be...
:04:01
Unfortunately,
this is just about the math.
:04:04
He was having an affair.
:04:05
California's a no-fault state.
:04:08
His attorney indicated
your husband
:04:10
would prefer an alimony buy-out.
:04:12
Since you two were living
rather modestly,
:04:15
I don't think
the number should be too bad.
:04:18
They're probably talking about
something like $200,000.
:04:24
I don't have that money.
:04:26
Unfortunately, you do.
:04:29
The house?
:04:30
Its value went through the roof
since you bought it.
:04:36
And renovated it
with my mother's money.
:04:38
Well, it's all
community property now.
:04:44
So he gets
half the house and alimony.
:04:49
There's leeway, and we'll make
all the arguments we can.
:04:53
But there is a bargaining chip.
He wants the house.
:04:56
- He wants to keep living there?
- Yeah.
