What is the name of your state? Washington
My friends niece is going through a divorce. Her husband and she were building a huge home that went far over budget. He lives in it now. The IRS is threatening to foreclose on it because her husband owes them over 100K and he is late on a $3,500 per month payment he agreed to pay (So they're going after her for it). He had a business - he didn't manage the books and closed the doors one day. He didn't pay his employees or anyone else.
She is a partner in a successful small business. She knew he was out of control but not how far until too late. They have a special needs child that she has (they share custody but he doesn't have patience for the boy).
Her lawyer specializes in divorce and to date she is taking care of the boy and paying her husband almost 6K a month in support and he wants more. In her words, "The holidays are coming. I'm poor as a church mouse and now even my crumbs are threatened."
One of the many distressing aspects of this is that her husband is going after money this business is making. It isn't even hers - it's money that is supposed to go towards the renovation of the historical building the business occupies, it's also her employees bonuses. Her lawyer doesn't seem to understand this -
Her husband once even tried to run her over with his vehicle.
She's looking at getting a different lawyer but she's tired, depressed, and feels hopeless now.
Any advice is welcome. She has a big support group and we're looking for direction so we can help her out.
Thank you,
