Mary demanded that he grant her an uncontested divorce and sign over half his share of the formula to her so she and the baby would have money live on. He argued with her bitterly, but finally acceded to her wishes when she pointed out how expensive it was to take care of babies and that his mother was living on a fixed income. If he went along with her, both she and his mother could share in the money they’d get from the formula. If he fought it, she’d get a divorce anyway, but the pot of money to be shared would be substantially smaller. The thought of looking up into his mother’s disapproving eyes for the next ten years made Thomas reconsider.
