Now she is demanding 50% of my business which she obviously has no legal right to since we were never married and which I feel is extremely unfair and even disrespectful. However I feel very conflicted on what to do ethically. Her disorder and consequent behavior cost me immeasurable stress, I supported her throughout her illness in every way I knew possible, sacrificing the growth of my company and my dreams in the process, and then she walked out on me.
Yet I know she obviously didn't bring this illness upon herself and in many ways I feel desperately sorry for her and worry about how she will support herself as the mother of my child. And I need to consider the impact of my decision on my daughter. I feel like I need to consult with some sort of ethical counselor on how to proceed with a financial settlement so I can put this behind me, I only want what is right and fair.
Can anyone recommend where I can look for help or have any advice for me?
