‘It’s my legacy as well’: 10 years after inheriting his late father-in-law's auto shop, a mechanic refuses to relinquish business ownership to his cheating ex-wife

While there's never a divorce proceeding without at least a little friction, this scorned man was sideswiped when his future ex-wife demanded her late father's business. In return for wronging him in their marriage, she decided that she was entitled to the auto shop garage that her father left to him, but he wasn't going to let the business he had run for 10+ years slip away without a fight. 

Legally entitled to ownership of the business, this mechanic protected his legacy and his career, keeping a tight grasp on the last thing he could call his. 

Broken relationships are always messy, but there's a certain level of respect that each side is owed. This man had to claw his way into the good graces of the law, but by securing his proprietorship, this blue-collar man was able to thwart the efforts of an entire family of lawyers and doctors. Why? Because he was 100% in the right to do so. When his late father-in-law passed the torch of responsibility to him, he wasn't about to allow anything to extinguish that flame.
