Getting a Divorce 

Nicole: I’m really sorry to hear about you and Catherine getting a divorce. 

Tom: I appreciate it, but it was a long time coming. We’ve been heading toward divorce for years. I just hope it doesn’t get too messy. 

Nicole: I don’t mean to pry1, but didn’t the two of you have a prenup? 

Tom: Yeah, but Catherine wants it set aside because our financial situation has changed so much since we got married. She also wants sole custody2 of Sarah, alimony, and child support. 

Nicole: We live in a community property state, so that should simplify things, shouldn’t it? 

Tom: You’d think so, but the distribution of property may get complicated. I’m hoping we can settle everything amicably3, but I’m ready for a fight, if it turns ugly. I’ve hired Dewey Cheatum. 

Nicole: Wow, you’re serious. He’s the most high-powered divorce attorney in this city. 

Tom: I’m not taking any chances with my assets or my daughter. If Catherine wants to play hardball, I’m coming out swinging!
