00:00I must feel a big part of you this place yeah I've always feel like home
00:19no well I'm glad you haven't outgrown it makes me think of your dad you know
00:26especially in the winter when I come back and it's all warm and glowing it's
00:32always Ashley I imagine working on a difficult sermon I think Jay always knew
00:39you know probably really hurt him oh don't start that
00:46start what? start mediation feeling all guilty and apologetic Kim says it's
00:51always the women who do the backing down avoiding conflicts in our nature well
00:55it's not in her nature is it well she's overcome it seriously though Jay's a
01:01negotiator it's what he does yeah but he's got everything to lose isn't he
01:06just be careful all right
01:15I'm so sorry love it's horrid losing a dog thanks I mean they're part of the

01:53well if he wants a leaving party not to throw him for himself I know they've got
01:57mediation well that's today and why is that a bad thing I thought mediation was
02:02good in it but the way you just said that was like how much do you trust Jay
02:07not that much he's very clever at making you think that you're getting what he'd
02:12want when really he's just getting what he wants
02:14well yesterday he won't well Laurel's very trusting but isn't that what mediators for
02:20you know to make sure everything's well everyone's fair I'm just sick of this
02:24okay well then let's go out later I can't lumber Laurel with Thomas not
02:29today well bring him along with us then what clubbing? yeah no no no unless you
02:36think you know he's up for that sort of thing no no are you are you any good at
02:41football no great me neither what nothing it's just you know me and Thomas

03:35going on in the next hour I've got mediation with Jay I'm sorry no no no
03:43it's progress it's just I don't know what Jay's gonna turn up is it gonna be

04:07keep our marriage edge of the seat some advice listen to all the stuff they tell
04:17you about how divorce isn't a zero-sum game not and forget it and go for his
04:23privates with an angle grinder it's just an introductory meeting what he's
04:31gonna try and psych you out no I think he really wants to make this work yeah
04:35I'm sure he said that Jay reminds me of Caleb in some ways they're both men who
04:41put on suits like armor and enjoy going into battle they like to win or they
04:47hate to lose do not drop your guard
04:56honey I'm home your loving husband
05:17huh okay I'm really sorry about this I'm gonna give him five more minutes and
05:39then I'll give him a call everybody said he was gonna do this just like him to
05:45agree to something and then he's just trying to psych me out people are late
05:50for all kinds of reasons or they're deliberately late or they just don't
05:54turn up at all hello hi ah I'm sorry and I realized I've still got these hello
06:09I'm sorry okay how late am I had a meeting that overran a bit what meeting

06:31okay have you two okay for yeah did you get a chance to read the material that I
06:37yes I did right so we're here to talk living arrangements and financial
06:47settlement so listen I suggest that we just let Laurel starts and state clearly
06:52what she wants I'm not gonna be difficult my priority is simply what's
07:00best for the kids did you have a coffee in st. Mark's Square looks amazing on the
07:06telly it was on that thing with them oh what's his name we didn't get there but
07:10we went last time so oh the Rialto that's my favorite big old bridge yeah
07:16nobody is the last time at all what okay Doge's Palace did you actually go to
07:22Venice guys it was our honeymoon we didn't get out much did the speedboat
07:26tour slap up mail and then we kind of stayed in oh what a waste when you can
07:32do that anyway the romance of it sorry no I'll be 50 next year I'll be honest I
07:53haven't been the best husband in the world hopefully I can be a better ex
07:58husband this has been the family home and it's currently owned by I mean
08:10Holgate's enormous Holgate yeah you've probably seen it it's a lovely Georgian
08:17place probably drove past it except I don't own it well Priya owns a share and
08:25Priya's my sister-in-law but still your house isn't it was my house I sold it
08:30what to my sister since when oh months ago oh and I sold tenants that's a 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 have ever heard of this well I wasn't gonna brag about it okay well you've got
09:06money from the hide I know that for a fact because I transferred it oh 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 to
10:30fill 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 kick
10:42your mitts off that my mitts I thought the whole point of this was to keep
10:49things civil you were happy for me to call this my home when I was paying the
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

14:18part of the house and he wants to sell it I mean how does that even work
14:22your dad loved that house well look if you're right then Jay's taking a massive
14:28risk if he's hiding assets or lying in documents well then he's breaking the
14:33law and I'm not being funny but what well he's not exactly criminal mastermind
14:39I just don't think I've got the stomach for this you know arguing about what's
14:43his what's mine just not cut out for it well that's what the lawyers for he's
14:50not gonna get your house it's not gonna get anything I'm not gonna let him that
