Hi everybody:
Was hoping to gain some feedback regarding my new girlfriend's ex-husband. For the record, she asked me to assist her by visiting my sound, grounded, down to earth FIRE family.
Ok, here goes:
By the way, we have agreed marriage is NOT an option for us. We enjoy our companionship, however. Been together 13 months.
GF has 3 daughters. Her ex-husband owes her roughly 80K in back child support and alimony. They've been divorced 15 years or so. He does make minimum monthly payments roughly on time to avoid jail.
GF had 1 divorce attorney previously who could not do much for her in terms of back payments. GF is reluctant to retain another attorney fearing the same result.
Her ex has a small construction company and has recently claimed bankruptcy. However, he frequents casinos regularly resulting in high player status. We believe he's obviously hiding money. Matter of fact, just 2 days ago, he asked his daughter, who works at a bank, to open up an account for him.........in HER name!!! She refused, of course.
Overall, the ex is a pompous, obnoxious loser who manages to stay ahead of the game when the judge meets with him every couple of years when asked why he hasn't made a dent in his payments.
Personally, I have never met the man but feel quite sorry for my GF. She is a genuine sweetheart who works at a non-profit organization and is barely getting by.
Hopefully, I provided enough background to generate some discussion??
Thanks again.
