Non-Clicky Poll: What is...
Okay girls, I hope we can keep this lighthearted, but what is the WIERDEST thing your X requested in your divorce that absolutely had to be replaced.
I have 4:
Cookware
Dishes
Towels (yup, the used bathroom towels...)
and a few random DVDs
(I'll note that when these requests came up, I chuckled and said whatever and wrote them in)

Re: Non-Clicky Poll: What is...
Haha, not formally but he told me he wanted this gawd awful cross stich that his mom made for us when we were married. It was of a Precious Moments bride and groom, and a wedding party, and it said our wedding date on it. The woman LOVES Precious Moments and I hate them so I was more than happy to return it to her. The funniest part was it was covered in dust because I'd hidden it under our bed, rather than actually displaying it somewhere in our house.
Oh, and he wanted the bedroom set back, especially the bed because he didn't want me to "fvvck someone else in it".
I didn't like the set anyways and gladly gave it back to him. Now my room is decorated soooo much more tastfully than it was when we were married.
He wanted the Cuisinart food processor that was missing pieces and several years old. He never, ever cooked, but I guess he wanted it since one of his friends gave it to us as a wedding gift. That was fine with me since I'd been wanting a new one anyway but couldn't justify it since the old one still worked.
The other weird thing was how he handled the pot set he took (given by his family member). One pot in the set had been damaged and he insisted that I replace the one pot since I'm the one who damaged it, since I was the only one who cooked. I told him to go pick one out and I pay him for it, but that was too much work, he wanted me to find the exact same pot in a 5 year old set of pots. I declined and he never produced a receipt for a replacement so, whatever.
PDX, in your case, I think it's understandable. You had good stuff. We had a cheaper set, but he insisted on it. W/E, one pan is warped and the others are all discolored. And the dishware...I was already bored with LMAO
I just expected a bit more of a fight for bigger things...
I didn't give him a chance, I wiped him clean while was made to stay at work by his unit while I was there to move my stuff. I left my washer and dryer because I didn't have room on the truck for it. He was mad that I took the tv trays with the exception of 1 because he burned a hole on it. He was also mad that I took the $125 coffee maker his mom bought us as a wedding present but I drink more coffee than he does.
Oh the funny part was I gladly left our comforter set because I knew he had the girls sleeping in our bed. His current wife posted a picture where she was lying on the SAME comforter as all those other women he's been with. It literally made my gag.
He didn't request anything really. I have him a list of what I was taking and what recently purchased items he would retain. In the itemized list I actually wrote, "XH will keep all of the new bedding purchased for the couple by MCC's parents as a housewarming gift"
My mom and I enjoyed that
That's awesome! I went and got myself a cheap new comforter and it was a fun little treat for me one week. I got to pick it with NO worries about him and his taste, and I got out from under the comforter "we" used.
I don't think he really requested anything. I just sort of told him what I was taking and that was it.
He didn't really ask for anything other than heirloom stuff from his family. I'm a little annoyed that he ended up with all of my kitchen utensils from Pampered Chef that he hated so much (they were at the house we lived in this summer), and he ended up with my new Amy Butler bedding set. That's more of a "what's in our house is yours, what's in the rent house is mine" kind of thing, though.
4 wooden masks that we bought in Mexico on our honeymoon.
He was also very adamant to keep BOTH TVs we had. I wanted the smaller one that was in the bedroom that he never even hooked up but he said that HE worked hard to pay for it and he was keeping it (I hadn't worked full time for much of our marriage because I was doing school stuff) so I just dropped it. I couldn't deal with his douchebaggery.
Oh my lord! Men can so ridiculous, can't they? My XH felt really bad about everything when we were splitting up the stuff (I still wanted to work on our marriage and was crushed, so he was going thru a lot of guilt) - he pretty much said I could have anything I wanted. He did mention a few DVDs I took, but I felt like I was more than fair when I split up our collection. When I was moving my stuff out he also asked (and I'm quoting here) "Are you going to take the good TV?" I sort of laughed and looked at him like he was nuts - GEEZ, when you put it that way, why don't you take the good TV and I'll take the POS one along with the other broken pieces of our life together! WTF? It was never brought up again.
The weirdest thing he got upset about was a stupid camping chair, of all things! We had two and apparently he REALLY wanted his. It came up when I took it because I was getting new furniture at my new place and had nowhere to sit -- I still have it, but would give it to him if he brought it up again.
ewwwwwwwww.....
My X requested all of the furniture and dishes... the man is in prison for 8 years!
He tried to ask for BOTH of the beds we had in the house. His sister laughed when she read the paperwork. Even if the judge was going to grant his request I would have ended up with the stuff anyway cause his family told X that they would not remove the stuff from my house.
The stuff he ended putting into the final paperwork was: His bike, tennis racquet, laccrosse gear, tool box and some books.
I may be able to understand the bike and the books... but the sports gear seemed dumb to me. Nothing was that nice and honestly it was already outdated and worn out... but whatever!
The X didn't really request anything. He chose to leave one day and he left.. although he did request the flat screen we just purchased and he wanted Duke.
He didn't get either of those (I would have given him the TV (be cause I don't watch tv at all) but I was holding it ransom so he couldn't take my dogs away from me.
In the end, he didn't fight anything. Although, he did get the deep fryer, the old vacuum and the guest bed.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
