Colorado was, in my experience, very equitable. Case and I split very amicably, but I still researched everything thoroughly. I suspect Utah is more reasonable than he thinks it is, but it's very easy to think of Utah as backwards.

Thanks for the link Rich. I'll give it a read.

That's what I've been pushing him to do. Hopefully he will start to see reason and get a good, nasty lawyer.
