Thanks Steve. As far as the money goes. She stated in on the page that she has enough money in an account and can send them a screenshot of the balance. That was the big shock. I thought it way different than just "I have enough money so trust me". I just love it as she also put on the top of the letter "Lay it all out for them to know everything". Thinking ahead through negotiations, mediation or even a judge this appears to be fairly straight forward.
Dear Property Manger, I will be working 2 jobs. I have enough money in the bank to show you I can pay and/or pay you rent in advance for a year. I also have a cosigner. Thanks, WAW
So we go to negotiate, mediate or court and she says "I'm disabled and here is my medical file, I can't work" , we get to say, then why are you saying you are already working "the line of I don't have quite a year of employment" and that you are going to add another job? I can see the judge asking "WAW. Why would you be trying to re-open your disability case with an attorney when you have been working and have portrayed yourself to be able to be gainfully employable?". "And also, if you are able to work, why would you need spousal maintenance?"
Next question would be on the asset side. "WAW, you show on your financial disclosure that you have nothing other than retirement accounts and a few hundred dollars in the bank. This indicated you have an account with a substantial balance that you did not disclose to this court. Please explain."
Again, I will ask my A tomorrow on this. I think we hold this out as long as we need to and then disclose it after she has put in her "claims" against me.
I don't know how her credit is now but when I was doing everything even after the financial collapse we were in the excellent range within 9 months.
I appreciate the 2x4. I also know I will have good and bad days. That if she struggles I will be very tempted to help. When she tries to bait me in, it will be tough depending on the situation to not engage. I am working everyday on this.
