Every move she made in court was countered. All she accomplished was raising the fees the lawyers got. Finally, after a year of fighting, she finally caved in, and the divorce was finalized. She got a small apartment not far from her work. I bought a nice house on the beach. The view was great.
I quit my job and went to work for myself doing the same thing as before but with several companies instead of just one. My old company was my first client. They were now paying me much more for the job than had been reported before.
It was a year after the divorce was final that her troubles started to escalate. Her affair with her boss had cost her boss his marriage. His ex-wife had pictures of their affair and took him to the cleaners in the divorce. His hidden account in the Caymans was discovered and the judge threw the book at him for trying to hide it. He denied any knowledge of it, but it was in his name. So he went to jail, lost his family, and lost his job. The new boss was not into women at all, so no easy ride for my ex.
Her car kept giving her trouble and no amount of time in a garage would find out why. All the mechanic could determine was it was a crappy car. He complained to her about the new cars and their computers being the first sign of the apocalypse. My ex just paid him again and hoped the car would get her to the car lot.
At the car lot she learned she had lousy credit and couldn't qualify for a loan. This surprised her. Her credit had been wonderful before the divorce. She drove her car back to the apartment. The lights were out when she got there. Seems she had not paid her electric bill for several months. She knew she had. She got into an argument with the customer support representative from the electric company. She checked her mobile app and found no record of ever having paid her electric bill. She also saw that she had not paid her rent for the last three months and knew her landlord would be knocking really quick. The sad part was the money for the bills was not in the account either. It had simply disappeared. She called her parents and even though they were skeptical of her explanation, they agreed to let her move back in with them. Her dad and brother came over and helped her move out of the apartment.
She got a ticket the following week for driving with expired insurance. She showed the cop her insurance card which showed it was current. He told her that he would cut her a break and not charge her with false documents and gave her just one ticket.
Her bank put a freeze on her cards. Seems her identity had been stolen and her cards were being used to buy all sorts of things overseas. They wouldn't make her pay for the charges, but she had to go into the bank, with multiple forms of ID to prove who she was and get a new card.
The following week, her neanderthal brother who had beat me up for divorcing his sweet pure little sister was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography. Seems an anonymous tip led to him, and his laptop was searched finding thousands and thousands of pictures of underage little boys.
Her father was arrested at work for embezzlement. He worked for an investment company, and he had apparently been stealing from his clients for several years. The records were all found when the company was purchased by another company, and it ran a full forensic audit of all the books and records.
Her father was sentenced to 10 years as was her brother. The lawsuit against her father emptied her family's savings. A week after their going to prison she got an email from an unknown sender all it said was: who got raped now?
