There were times during the trial I just thought this can't be happening, and if it is, nobody would believe it. Marci was attempting to have the valuation date of my corporation changed, which would benefit her numbers.
The extent of which she claimed that everything I did in business had its roots in her participation - even years after we split, can be seen firsthand by reading my declaration here.
In the end, we won these claims. The way the justice system works is that even though you know what happened, the judge has to believe each of you has some element of truth to it. So, it does make sense that when you make really far-reaching claims that you may get some of it. It's that "shoot for the stars" strategy, thinking that this may pay off by 1) confusing the judge maybe, but 2) raising the "middle bar" of the settlement position.
In the end, it just angers the other side and makes them increase the stakes of the battle. Angering the other side never pays off, and this whole "Hatfields vs. McCoys" (google it) extended war is the result.
