I’ve been talking with my lawyer, and this question keeps coming up.

Her warning to me is that Missouri law may not protect me, and that I need to come to terms with that possibility. My response has been that my hope is Lisa will not insist on the Missouri floor, and will instead genuinely look at what is fair.

You’ve said things that support that. But you’ve also said that your lawyers’ guidance is that what I’m asking for is more than a court would typically order, and that this makes you hesitant.

I know I’ve asked some version of this before and haven’t really gotten an answer, but I’m asking again in the hope that we can discuss it directly: are you willing to pursue what you believe is genuinely fair even if it goes beyond what a court would typically order, or is that court-based limit effectively your ceiling?
