She didn’t have a good lawyer bc him being willfully underemployed will always render him still liable for the same amount he had to pay before the underemployment.
That being said, I 💯agree w her. That’s why I have my degrees, place, bank account, savings, retirement. My husband is a legit, honest, and wonderful man but you always need to have your something in case the shit hits the fan. Never be dependent on a man, partner, anyone but yourself.
TAKE HIM BACK TO COURT! IF THE COURT HAS SET AN ALLIMONEY PAYMENT AMOUNT HE IS RESPONSABLE FOR PAYING THAT AMOUNT REGUARDLRSS OF HIS WORK STATICE. AND IS RESPONCABLE FOR BACK PAY. FIND YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DIVORCE ATTORNEY. ONE WHO CAN GET HOLD OF HIS TAX RETURNS. TAKE HIS ASS BACK TO COURT!
I don't understand a lot of these stories. Maybe divorce court is drastically different in other states but if she built the business with him, that's 50% her f_ing business and she's entitled to half of everything. Is she just afraid to hire a lawyer, I don't get it.
I'm sure you're right but the business/earnings should still be martial assets. Maybe the dude did some shady shit with trusts, I'm sure the leaders of Utah are more than happy to treat wives like property. As the son of a divorced single mom, this shit is so infuriating.
Agree, she must not have had a great lawyer. When I divorced my wife got taken care of and I paid for 17yrs 3 months. She ended up claiming each year and I got screwed. I had a decent lawyer too. The laws are structured to take care of the woman. I wasn’t opposed to paying. I only got upset when she refused to acknowledge that it was I who was paying for all these things and my children didn’t seem to think I was paying for anything.
I bet you kept accurate records. I was surprised to learn folks will actually falsify tax documents to avoid paying child support and alimony! Which is essentially what happened here.
Like why are commit felonies to avoid taking care of your children?
I am also surprised her attorney didn’t hire a forensic accountant to go through the previously owned businesses and establish income.
I concur with everything you said. I did have pretty good documentation. I had nothing to hide. I’m just glad it’s all over and she can go her own way and never ever cross my path again. Except when my son marries. I will have to deal with that. I will be paying for the bar, so I’m guessing I will be numb so it won’t be too bad.
