She asked if I wanted to consider the proposal. I told her absolutely not. I instructed her to proceed with the divorce filing immediately. She said she’d have the papers ready by the end of the week. True to her word, she served him the following week. I got a text from Victoria on a Wednesday afternoon saying the process server had delivered the papers to my husband at his work.

My husband had 30 days to respond and Victoria expected him to fight over property division despite the prenup clearly protecting my assets. She said people like him didn’t give up easily even when they knew they had no legal ground to stand on.
