So the story goes like this. My grandfather had Parkinson's from his 70s until he died, and he died at 88. On top of that he developed dementia early on after that. But he was OK so and so until it got really ugly and he had to go to the nursing home 2 years before he died. And my dear auntie decided to take advantage of him. She claims that he was lucid enough to tell her that he wants to sing an Agreement on lifetime and lifelong alimony, in which way she would exclude my mother from he rightful inheritance.

Just some bush league shady stuff. From one sister to another.

So my mom sued, and my dad was handling this when he was alive. Once he died, it all fell on my shoulders. We had a court hearing today, and the judge was awesome. The court expert ruled in our favor and the judge refused to enter anything new in the process that would favor their side. The verdict is on 27/6 metric.

Well done. I spent eight years caught in the winds of an unbelievably acrimonious family court case, and it's a fucking killer. You done good.

Indeed. I researched real estate title in Milwaukee for seven years, and often had to read through the unbelievably petty and/or downright psychopathic things that people who used to love each other would do when things curdled. It must have felt incredible, being in the room for that resolution.
