Only 15%?

He’s a lucky guy to be living where he is and not in a northern hemisphere.

Smith can thank his lucky stars. He has been in a relationship with the woman for eighteen years and gives up only 15%. That woman needs a better Lawyer.

Our resident lawyers, Sudden and Snoopdog, would have had Smith eating out of the garbage bin. lol

Come on 'twinkle', this isn't a loss.


...in 2016 Smith ended the relationship claiming that he was marrying someone else and ordered Ms Halley to vacate the property.
wow, rough.

i hope the lady is your friend and not the man becos he is an idiot.

by his own admission the woman had an equitable interest in the properties as she had helped pay for the land. why could he not have given her christian valley or bendals instead of going to court to deny her any whilst lying?

the woman had records too. good for her. justice administered properly.

did she help get him to Canada?

I am married to that woman.

did she help get him to Canada?

Yes and adopted his son, from his first marriage.
BTW, his son has him in court, because he tried to steal some of his contract up north.
One of though West Indian that think, other West Indians are dumb.

She is/was a Document control manager

NO her folks actually helped build the house. She really got the bad end of this stick.

 
Chrissy 2020-02-25 21:25:30 

Didn't one of the kids die as well?

 
doosra 2020-02-25 22:05:37 

In reply to Chrissy

oh yes that too

but i was thinking even if that was not the case, 18 years is a lot of time to be just handed 10 thousand and asked to pack...

yes one of the kids died a few years ago...

Morality aside, chances are if he had done the right thing he would not have been distracted and his career and earnings would have far exceeded the payment to the mother of his kids.

Shortsighted man.
