Hey all, am i nuts - always possible lol - or did anyone else notice what seemed to be an almost instantaneous retconn/rewrite only a few days later from what they initially said the first couple days Nicole was back onscreen a couple weeks ago when she came back?
She first explained her 'rights' to residing in the kiriakis mansion and her power to keep vic from throwing her out right away as having this high-power team of lawyers that were teling her she was still married to vic and because of the fact that they had never gotten divorced (so thusly thru community property-marriage laws she was also entitled to stay in the mansion) and that from previous deals with kate and victor she still had tons of money and that her laywers were looking out for her...then, a few days later, she expresses a desperate need to hire an attorney right away (which resulted in her hire of ej) to make sure victor can't suddenly throw her out - which she's suddenly worried about but wasn't overly-concerned with when she first reappeared just a few days earlier! ... She also told ej that she needed him to quickly get her part of victor's fortune bc she had grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and the money needed for that was running out. She did promise Elvis alot of money for his services, (a % of the settlement she was hiring him to get her) ...but...strangely...she said that she couldn't pay him untill the end of the case bc of a lack of funds...but, again, when she showed up a few days earlier she appareantly still had a ton of money ... wonder why the almost immediate rewrite/retconn...weird...
The real problem is that if Salem is really in a community property state, there wouldn't be the need for all these high priced lawyers and a messy divorce. In community property states, all income earned during the marriage automatically belongs 50/50 to each spouse. So when you separate, all that income is just divided in half. Any income or assets each individual had before the marriage remains all theirs.
So, assuming Victor owned the house before the marriage, if it's a community property state, then Nicole has no claim to the house at all. She does have claim to half of whatever Victor earned during their marriage, but she doesn't need a high priced lawyer to figure that out!
What seems to happen at Days (often, in fact) is they hire talent and then write for them--they don't have a character in mind, hire the talent, and then put them on-screen. That's why so many of their storylines are so chaotic and disjointed. Look at the storyline with Chloe--it's changed so many times already, and it still isn't heading anywhere.
