Cape Breton in Canada offers citizenship in One Year if you buy property and invest &10,000.00, in a new or established business. Depressed economically, declining population. Houses stay on the market for literally years, a nice waterfront 2 bed can be had for 60,000. If you can work from home, or are retired, go there! They are actually running a campaign to attract "settlers". Weather like southern New England, scenery like Scotland (think Lord of the Rings), thriving Seasonal hiking & Scottish dancing tourism, and a distillery/factory for fine single malt liquor

Have your lawyer query his lawyer directly! Or perhaps he can explain it to you....that's what they are there for. You want this kind of stuff in writing, or at least an email (also a legal document) If you do not have your own lawyer you can call or email his, but the BIG question is, why do you not have one? I had a damn good one (I asked around)....he charged $3000.00, pretty standard here, i get over $1000.00 a Month in alimony for the rest of my life. Cheap at 10x the price!!! Other women who "saved money" by going without a lawyer, or worse, sharing one, got Nothing!
