Nip what? Imagine your wife cheated on you and f**ked her lover on your marital bed while you were overseas for a work trip, and now she wants to divorce you, claim maintenance (aka alimony), 50% over your assets and care & control over your 2 kids.

Are you going to nip the case in the bud by rolling over and giving into her demands just so that you avoid confrontation?

Court disputes are as much a way to vindicate feelings as they are to vindicate legal rights.
