What is the name of your state? Florida
My fiance will be representing himself in court shortly as his ex of 2 years wants more alimony. They were married 12 years and no children.
Background:
Fiance had a professional interim position for 2 years and was going to get the permanent position when his ex wife sabotaged it by sending slander to the president of the company when he wanted a divorce. He was asked to withdraw his application and now has a lesser paying position.
Owned a $140K house with ex and decided to build a $500K house due to the new position he thought he would be getting. They lived in an apt for 18 mos while waiting for the house to be built. He left his wife right after the closing for fear of losing money. (I know bad move). He lived in the new house two weeks and moved out and she filed for divorce 3 months later. He paid all the payments during that time. At the divorce she INSISTED on buying him out and not selling and splitting like my fiance wanted. She is very material oriented. She sells perfume at a dept store (used to be high in commissons but of course not now). We think her daughter moved out and she cannot pay all her expenses that go with a $500K house.
QUESTION????
Is her standard of living she is accustomed to connected to the house they shared for 12 years ($140K) , the apt they rented for 18 months or the house she decided to buy after the divorce? She remortgaged it in her name only and he signed a quit claim and recieved $40,000 payout. If he had remained married to her and did not get the permenant position, he would have had to sell on his present salary.
The slander was she charged him with battery and he was found NOT guilty as she fabricated it. She is one angry b*&^h.
We just have to know what tactics he can use when he has to go to court. He responded that he would like to lower the alimony as his salary is lower each year to bring him down to the present position salary. Should he be responsible for expenses she created on her own?
My issue is I do not trust the FL judges.
