Also, isn't it a $250 change fee on international tickets?
He paid for the tickets as she does not work and has not since the marriage. Also, they are only into the marriage for 2 years thus far. Living togther only for a year in the USA as she came from another country in Asia as a wife of a USA Citizen.

more in a bank account). If the credit will be split amongst passengers,
get a refund, but then buy an equal amount in UA "credit".

That way the cost of the flights is not factored in to the divorce $$ - unless it is an exceedingly crafty/detailed divorice lawyer.
Good ideas. I do believe she does not care about the tickets for now and she does not have a lawyer due to the fact I just posted above and the lack of money.
