My husband stayed all in the divorce… But I had no idea what I was really taking.

And I waited.
Because men like Victor… sooner or later they leave.

The performance: looking defeated so that he lowers his guard
When I hired my lawyer, Nina Castellanos, she wanted to fight for half of everything.

I said,
“No. I want him to keep everything.”

Nina thought I was sunk.

Until I put three filing cabinets on his desk. Three years of testing.

That’s when he understood.
The trap was simple and perfect:

Victor would be left with:

the house,
the company,
cars…
And also with all the associated debts, legally, in writing, without going back.

I would ask for little: 50,000, my belongings, and joint custody.
Crumbs… so that he would sign with joy.

And it worked.
