I’m going through divorce proceedings with my wife (soon to be officially ex), am only waiting for court date. While its a mutual divorce, it was initiated by her and agreed by me as our values (about kids, finances) are not aligned. We are still communicating purely on splitting furniture and stuff, but have no disagreement about any other monetary issues.

So i was managing a rental property for my exwife. Basically managing the tenant, fixing any minor damage, posting ads to attract tenant, etc…but not getting income from it (was okay with it previously since it was for wife). Now that we are divorcing, she offered to pay me “agent fee” to continue managing her rental property.

Preferably i would want to cut off all ties with her until i recover emotionally, but knowing her, i could get a pretty good side income since she was not good with financial planning eitherway which is one of the reason we had constant argument. If i look at this from a business perspective, she is one of those rich gullible client.

What are everyone thoughts here? Should i take this opportunity to earn some money, or if it is better emotionally to cut all ties? Im not having a rational mind at the moment hence would want a 3rd party POV.

Also, she wants to remain as friend after divorce. I truly don’t understand the angle of why she wanted to remain as friend yet initiated the divorce. Any thoughts about it?
