Apparently someone has put a lien on her accounts because she hasn't made any payments. She claims that it is marital debt but won't say who it is or what it was for. All of this debt is in her name - BF has no access to any of the accounts and can't even call to request information because his name was NEVER on any of these accounts. He has already paid off everything that was in his name during their marriage. Then she says that there is also a lien on her parents' account "because she is an authorized signer on their account" (which I think is a lie, I think they cosigned for a loan or something and now the credit company is coming after them because she's so delinquent). BM's father is very upset and he wasn't in the best of physical condition before anyway. BF called BM's father who told him he wanted his money...he can't even cash a check at the bank because they've been ordered to seize his assets until the debt is paid off.

BF told him the truth...he's been asking BM since they got divorced to give him statements for the marital debt so that he can pay his part, and she never has. She is happy complaining that he's a deadbeat and spouting off numbers that he "owes her" (which started out at $13,000 then mysteriously climbed to $17,000 and above over the past two years) but has never once so much as told him who the debt is actually to. She expects BF to cut HER a check for his half of the marital debt just going off of what she says the amount is. He has consistently told her, no, I will pay whatever debt is owed to whoever it is owed to, but I'm not giving YOU a dime.

BM's father then said something that has come as a shock to me. He said, "That woman is CRAZY. You need to take everything away from her that you can. She needs to hit rock bottom and get locked up in a mental institution where she can get some REAL help." This came from BM's own father! He went on to tell BF that if there's any way he can get custody of SS, even if he has to take on all the debt responsibility...whatever it takes, BM is not able to take care of him physically, emotionally or financially and something needs to be done. THEN he said that he was relatively sure that the debt which he is being held responsible for was created in 2006 - BF filed for divorce in January of 2006. So come to find out, this probably isn't "marital" debt at all. But of course, we wouldn't know, because BM won't tell us.

So BF and BM are going to court on Tuesday for the CS adjustment hearing. There will probably be a continuance, but if not...BF's lawyer is gearing up to contend with BM's allegations on how she's in such financial hardship because BF is a deadbeat who won't give her any money. The lawyer printed off a statement of BF's child support payments (a favor that BM granted us when she forced the payments to get taken over by the state board of CS enforcement) to show that BF is not only current and has been for the past two years, he's actually ahead by a few hundred dollars. And he's also going to point out that she's STILL unemployed, and is now working on her eighth month. He's going to request that she provide proof that she's been trying to find employment...she told BF that she's gone for two interviews with a school in our town, but conveniently doesn't even know the school's name...

BF's lawyer is working toward filing a lawsuit for contempt since she won't give any information on the debt and she was ordered to in the divorce papers. He's also begun gathering what he needs to countersue for sole custody of SS.

BM had been getting better and better...but I have a feeling everything is about to get much, much worse.
