In 1995, Dick had $50,000 in credit card debt, we took out a second mortgage to pay them off.
In 1997, Dick had another $20,000 in debt rung up in credit cards.
By 1999, Dick debt climbed to $50,000 in credit card debt, he took a second mortgage out on the farm.
By 2003 he began using credit cards in my name, by the end of the divorce, he had $30,000 in credit debt in my name and by the time 2006 came along, he had $30,000 in his own name..... that's when he went bankrupt.
I figure he probably has another $20,000 to $30,000 in credit card debt, along with a $380,000 mortgage.... he can't afford to pay child support, and the reason he is fighting so hard to keep the kids.... he needs the support from me if he is going to loose Grandpa's money. He has a second loan on his 2002 Chevy, car loans on his Miata, Harley, mini van, and the little car he bought for S when S lived with him last year, but Dick now drives that car because of the gas prices in Cali being so high. Yup, and he and Jane love to spend, and spend they have.
He paid me $500/month for two children, while making $150,000/yr (or more).... you can be guaranteed that the child support I pay will be near $700/month if he keeps the kids... you watch. I make around $21,000/year.... which I've been surviving on without creating any debt.
