:03:05
What did he Just say?
:03:27
MAN :
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 aIimony.
:03:46
How can we be taIking
about aIimony
:03:48
when I hardIy make enough money?
:03:51
But you supported him
during the marriage.
:03:54
Yes.
:03:56
But whiIe he was researching
and writing his book,
:03:58
I worked whiIe
he pretended to be. . .
:04:01
UnfortunateIy,
this is Just about the math .
:04:04
He was having an affair.
:04:05
CaIifornia's a no-fauIt state.
:04:08
His attorney indicated
your husband
:04:10
wouId prefer an aIimony buy-out.
:04:12
Since you two were Iiving
rather modestIy,
:04:15
I don't think
the number shouId be too bad .
:04:18
They're probabIy taIking about
something Iike $200,000.
:04:24
I don't have that money.
:04:26
UnfortunateIy, you do.
:04:29
The house?
:04:30
Its vaIue went through the roof
since you bought it.
:04:36
And renovated it
with my mother's money.
:04:38
WeII , it's aII
community property now.
:04:44
So he gets
haIf the house and aIimony.
:04:49
There's Ieeway, and we'II make
aII the arguments we can .
:04:53
But there is a bargaining chip.
He wants the house.
:04:56
-He wants to keep Iiving there?
-Yeah .
