Just got off the phone with my mom, who is in the middle of a divorce.

Apparently, my stepdad has been claiming everything as personal property since the beginning of their marriage. So now she's screwed.


I don't know alot about divorce and claims, but just wanted to see what you think and any advice you might offer. She only makes $1,400/month.

The problem with the lawyer is that she doesn't feel she will get much out of it now. So she isn't working as hard as she could be.

The stepdad is a drug dealer and has over $100,000 in illegitimate cash.

Then by all means, she should just roll over and get nothing. :roll:

If she has evidence of this why not go to the police or as said before get a good lawyer?

Well I was talking about the lawyer not working hard.

The lawyer actually said, "looks like your out of luck".

WTF?

She would have evidence if he still lived at the house. But now he lives with a hooker. An actual real life hooker. Who took another persons dog for a $1,000,000 ransom.


It's like a crappy TV show.

I have some experience in family law. I need several questions answered:

1. what state were the married in?
2. what state do they live in now?
3. what state is the property located?
4. do they own a house? If so, when was it purchased?
5. IS THERE A PRENUP?

Everything obtained prior to the marriage can generally be claimed as personal. Anything obtained after the point of marriage up until a legal seperation is usually marital property this split 50/50.

Doesnt matter if she never bought a thing and he bought it all she could be entitled to half. Thats what my lawyer has essentially told me through my divorce tho I am not in your state so this is all just general guidelines.

Who would pay a million dollars ransom on a dog? You can just clone yourself a new one for a quarter of that cost.

so you were both OK with this when times were good?

If he has no reported income she may the the one paying him alimony.

Better get a lawyer and stop talking about crimes you know may have been occuring inside their home...you come implicate your mother in something.

Your mom's the problem. Tell her to stop hooking up w/ other men when she's married.
