Hello Kasumi,
I hope you are doing well.
Since it has been 5 days since you last contacted me, I will have to assume that you are actively moving forward with the divorce, and have been contacting attorneys in the process. I will begin the process on my side as well. Since I have to assume that you already have legal representation, I will write all emails/letters to you in English from this point forward. (I will have to assume that your lawyer will be reading my emails as well)
I request that you let me know by email once any motions/documents are filed regarding the divorce. Once I am notified, I will inform you of the address where the Complaint for Divorce and the Summons can be sent. It will most likely be to my Attorney’s address in Hawaii. Please DO NOT have it sent to my mailing address in Michigan.
It is my sincere wish that the divorce proceeds in a manner that is amicable and harmonious.
At this point in time, the only claim I am making is to a portion of the increase in Net Market Value (NMV) of the condominium from the Date of Marriage (DOM) to the Time of Divorce. This would be Category 2 property only.
I have made very significant contributions to the maintenance and upkeep of the property, and therefore its appreciation in value, and I feel justified in asking for a portion of that increase. (Hawaii Divorce Laws and Guidelines recognize this as valid and fair – even without the contribution)
I think we can work out a percentage that will be fair and equitable to the both of us. If you would like, I can send over a more detailed proposal that you can consider. Of course I am open to any suggestions or counter-offers you may have. I think avoiding a prolonged period of contention would be advantageous to both of us. I am willing and open to working out an agreement with you.
We have been officially contemplating divorce now from the time you received my email on November 20, 2014. Since you have not written me back for some time, I am not sure what actions you are taking in Hawaii. Since you have not been forthcoming in your communications with me, I do have some concerns.
I was re-reading one of the documents I sent to you, and saw where during a divorce (or contemplation thereof) some spouses will try and give away or sell their property to a family member, or assign a different name to the property in order to avoid any payments to the non-owner spouse.
I truly do not think this is something you would attempt to do. But I wanted to bring it up just in case. (I apologize if my concern is completely unfounded)
Besides, it is my understanding that this would be a violation under Hawaii Case Law.
Just let me state this for the record: Until we, or the Hawaii Courts decide on a fair and equitable division, (of the increase in NMV) let’s follow Hawaii State Law, and leave everything as it is.
……….
Here’s an excerpt from one of the documents I sent to you via email:
From the Hawaii Bar Journal, February 2004
Generally, except for “waste,” the
Family Court cannot consider fault by
either party during the marriage in dividing
property. Other than cases holding that
one cannot give property to a relative
during a divorce, Hawaii case law does not
define specifically what constitutes
“waste.”
……….
Again, it is my intention to have an amicable and harmonious divorce, based on the Laws and Guidelines of the State of Hawaii.
Please keep me informed of any developments. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tom

念のため、違うメールアドレスからも送ります。
。。。。。。。。。。
Ｄｅａｒ Ｋａｓｕｍｉ，
ファイルが添付してあったメールを送り、その２時間後に車の件の追加分が入った、添付ファイルなしのメールを送りました。
メールが２つとも届かないというのは非常に変ですね。
添付ファイルは参考に。ハワイの法律と離婚に関するガイドラインの説明文です。
Ｋａｓｕｍｉも、この件に関して、為になるウエブサイト、書類等があれば送ってください。
もうずっと会っていないので、お互い開放された方が良いと思います。
僕も同意見です。
僕はハワイの法律と離婚に関するガイドラインに基づいて円満に解決することです。
Ｋａｓｕｍｉも同じように考えているのでしょうか？

I am sorry, but I have not received an email like the one below or received any attached files.

Email from Tom:
Dear Kasumi,
You asked me a question: “What would be a harmonious divorce for you?”
My answer: To have a harmonious divorce based on the Laws and Guidelines of the State of Hawaii.
I have attached several reference documents to this email.
Kasumi, what would be a harmonious divorce for you?
Tom
…..
Could you please send it to me again?
Regarding the car documents, I needed those because I was hit by another car. I tried to get it repaired through the insurance company but was told both the owners’ signatures were required. The process was quite difficult. We’ve owned the car for over 10 years now, and I will not be able to sell it when the time comes. That is why I asked you to sign over the car to me.
Since we have not seen each other for so long, I think it would be best to be free from each other. (Divorce)
I will write you once I have read the attached documents.

Ｄｅａｒ Ｋａｓｕｍｉ，
下記のメールを送ってから３２時間以上経過しました。
話し合いで解決できるのか、互いに弁護士と相談したほうがいいのか、Ｋａｓｕｍｉの回答によってだいたい見当がつくと思いますので、できるだけ早く返事を送っていただけるよう、お願いします。
円満解決において、良好なコミュニケーションは非常に大事だと思いますので、僕はＫａｓｕｍｉの質問等にはできるだけ早く答えるようにします。
トム
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

追加：車の書類。Ｋａｓｕｍｉから名義変更の依頼があり、同時期にラナイの荷物を移動するようにとの依頼もあり、多分正式に分かれる方向を取っていたと考えました。
。。。。。
Ｄｅａｒ Ｋａｓｕｍｉ，
「質問：あなたの円満解決とは？」
ハワイの法律と離婚に関するガイドラインに基づいて円満に解決することです。
参考書類をいくつか添付しました。
Ｋａｓｕｍｉの円満解決とは？

This is a late reply. I have been feeling good at times, and bad at times, because of my [Redacted]. In your reply email, you said that you would send the car documents as quickly as possible（Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 09:22:07 -0700）, but I have not received them yet. It’s been 4 months since you received the documents at your Michigan mailing address.
Because I had not received the documents, I chose to leave things as is. I did not reply because I had not yet received the documents.
I was planning to reply after I had properly received the car documents. Therefore, I have not spoken with Attorney(s). I am also hoping for a harmonious solution (Divorce).
What would be a harmonious divorce for you?

Ｄｅａｒ Ｋａｓｕｍｉ，
まだ返事がないようですね。
今の時点で想定できるのは：
１）何らかの理由でまだ離婚したくない。
３か月前の僕からのメールを読み、どうしたらいいのかわからない。
２）もうすでに離婚を進めている。弁護士と相談している。僕と話し合って解決する意向はない。
僕は上記の１番ではないと思います。Ｋａｓｕｍｉと最後に会ったのは、来月でもう５年となります。
離婚のことは、互いに、ずっと前から考えていたと思います。
上の２番であると想定してよろしいでしょうか？
返事をあと２－３日待ってもいいですが、それでも来ないようでしたら、僕も弁護士と相談します。
。。。。。
しかし、僕はまだ円満に解決できると思っています。
返事を待っています。
トム
。。。。。。。。。。
Ｄｅａｒ Ｋａｓｕｍｉ，
下記のメールを送ってから、もう３か月経過しました。
Ｋａｓｕｍｉの意見・考えを聞かせてください。
コミュニケーションがなければ、前に進めません。
僕はメール、スカイプ、電話、なんでもＯＫです。

Ｄｅａｒ Ｋａｓｕｍｉ，
連絡が遅れて申し訳ありません。
これを機に、互いにとって、正式に分かれる方向を取るのが一番いいのではないかと思います。
突然このようなメールで、ごめんなさい。しかし、Ｋａｓｕｍｉも、僕も、もう長い間考えていたことだと思います。
Ｋａｓｕｍｉの意見を聞かせてください。
よければ、電話でもっと詳しく話し合いたいと思っています。

What happened to the documents?
You have not contacted me regarding what to do with your things. I’m sorry, but I will be disposing (throwing away) your things left on the iron shelves by the end of the year.
