Wayward Wife/MLC or Just Bad Behavior

[fitzge]

His only defense against paying alimony is that he has too many bills to pay.

Her strategy might be that she's not getting enough $$ to pay her bills.

Should we feel sorry for the person that spent it on meals out and vacation trips with OW??? Or your W who spends the money on whatever instead of bills. Karen

1. The court will look at what his money has been spent on. It is call disapation for assets. Basically, if he spend money on OW or went out and spent extravagantly, he owes that money back to the community (your M). The too many bills excuse will not fly.

2. My WW ran out and rents a 4,000 square foot house at $2,250 per month. She moved OM in immediately. I haven't seen her financial statement (monthly cost of living) yet. I think you are on track -- SHE will claim she is accustomed to a particular standard of living and it needs to continue.

3. The sense of entitlement that WS have is incredible. Their focus is on themselves. I don't feel sorry for them at all. If you tell a child not to touch a hot stove and they do, you feel bad about the burn. We are dealing with adults here -- no one will ever convince me 1 + 1 + 3. My WW has attempted to do that on many occassions.
