00:51always the women who do the backing down avoiding conflicts in our nature well

01:01negotiator it's what he does yeah but he's got everything to lose hasn't he

01:57well that's today and why is that a bad thing I thought mediation was good in it
02:03but the way you just said that was like how much do you trust Jay? not that much
02:08he's very clever at making you think that you're getting what you want when
02:13really he's just getting what he wants well yesterday he won well I was very
02:17trusting but isn't that what mediators for you know to make sure everything's

04:22forget it and go for his privates with an angle grinder yeah it's just an
04:26introductory meeting what he's gonna try and psych you out no I think he really
04:33wants to make this work yeah I'm sure he said that Jay reminds me of Caleb in

08:25sister-in-law but still your house isn't it was my house I sold it what to
08:32my sister since when oh months ago oh and I sold tenants that's another little
08:40house in the village to Liam you never said anything Wow so you've had all that
08:47money sloshing around and not really you've not said a single thing I mean
08:51that's interesting isn't it oh debts I mean it's gone I have made some bad
08:57decisions I'll admit that much okay what are you talking about this is the first
09:01I've ever heard of this I wasn't gonna brag about it okay well you've got money
09:07from the hide I know that for a fact because I transferred it oh well oh come
09:14on I'll make all financial records available voluntarily Jake I'm sorry
09:23Laurel it's not personal skint
09:29I mean everybody said he was gonna do this I'm just telling the truth it might
09:46be better if you sit down you know the money literally went into your account
09:50yesterday and it paid off some of my debts debts I didn't know about I didn't
09:55know about any debts I was ashamed but I knew it was all gonna come out in the
10:00divorce anyway so I'm just being completely transparent I knew me hmm so
10:11what do we do now cuz he's clearly hidden the money you can see that yeah
10:14yeah look full and frank financial disclosure throughout is a legal
10:19requirement good if we can't come to an agreement which I'd like to stress again
10:25is very much the preferable outcome for all concerned agreed you'll both need
10:30to fill in something called a form e listing all assets including savings
10:35private business holdings property well the house is in my name so you can keep
10:42your mitts off that my mitts I thought the whole point of this was to keep

10:56bills and renovating one of the bedrooms so your child could move in well I am
11:02glad Archie wasn't around to hear that no no I didn't mean it like that this
