It's hard to except the things I cannot change 

Hi All,

 I had to travel 300 miles today to go to a court trail today for the case that was served on my soon to be Ex. We signed a lease in June of last year. In July he had me leave. He said he would stay there and pay the rent which he did for four months He told me he took my name off of the lease and said I couldn't come back without a weeks notice.

 

He moved out of our place in Dec. and left the landlord owing 2 months rent, utility bills and snow removal. He was taken to court and had a judgement served on him. He is on un-employment and doesn't have to pay till he gets a job.

 

So here is my story on my trial. He wouldn't come to court with me for he said he was already served with a judgement and the landlord knows that we are no longer together.

 

The land lord stated his side and said that I didn't contact him when I left and I said he was still living there and he was the one who continued to live there I was told I was no longer on the lease.

 

I took documentation of pay stubs and un-employment checks to prove I was no longer in the state along with the email he wrote about taking me off of the lease.

 

I stated to the judge how unfair he was with getting rid of me with no support and not knowing that there any problems in our marriage of 43 years. I asked not to be responsible for the debt of $2,000.

 

It has been 11 months since we have been apart and I thought I pretty much had my emotions in check. He made the ruling that the lease was binding with my signature on it and he sympathized with my situation but he had to go by the law. He served a judgment against me as well. Then the tears started flowing I couldn't even speak! I felt like a was in a hole with the dirt being shoveled on top of me. He wins again. How unfair life is to the inoccent. All the raw emotion was back. I feel like a rag doll just flopping around with all my stuffing falling out.

 

When I get a job they will be taking 20% till the $2,000 is paid back. Him as well. I will be starting a job at the end of the month. Not him. I will paying all of this off. I make minimum wage. Life isn't feeling so good to me right now.

That is so unfair it really is. It is so hard to accept that this is the law but it is. Oh how painful this must be.

Reminiscent of my son's father.  I worked all year (getting $20/wk child support) to support my kids single-handedly.  He got to go to school/sporting events because I was at work and he wasn't.

And at tax time, guess who got to claim him for taxes?  HE did.  Meanwhile my taxes went to paying for him to sit on his butt at home.

I'm sorry to hear about this and sometimes it seems like with proper proof (which you have) the law could have some sort of clause in it.

Don't let it eat you up (as it did me).  Be happy that you have a job for which they can deduct.  It will be paid off and you'll be done with it and hopefully him.

Take care
