His Ex wants to take it higher...

My boyfriend and his ex separated last October. They had a separation agreement that was to last until 4-2001 and then would go before the court for divorce. She got most everything in the house, 1/2 of the "equity" in the house whenever it sells. She got 1/2 of his 401k, which was $14,500 at the time of separation and only recently withdrew that money from the plan. She filed for divorce in December 99. He placed a TPO on her because she broke into the house and stole tax records and some court documents that did not belong to her. She put a TPO on him and his son, claiming that he was inappropriate with their daughter. His son WAS inappropriate with her and was and still is serving time for it. He is 17.
They've been back and forth in court over the TPOs and finally she fired her first atty in April because he moved the divorce hearing to a later date. She hired a new atty in Utah, where she lives and the date was set for June 26, 2000.
Her and her atty wanted to throw out the separation agreement. The judge denied that. She wanted $1000/month for 7 years for ALIMONY. The judge granted her $300/month for 30 months as long as she stays enrolled in college. She claimed she had no job skills, yet is a manager for Princess House Crystal! As well has has other jobs in the 12 years she was married...
The judge also awarded her $1500.00 to be paid from him to HER attorney because she couldn't afford to pay him. The visitation remained the same as agreed upon in the separation agreement. It was very lenient. The decree hasn't even been signed by the judge yet!! But she has petitioned the transcripts of the hearing, which tells me that she intends to appeal the decision. This will take it to a higher court. She's mad because she didn't get what she want. My boyfriend cannot afford any more to her. And personally I think she's doing it to bankrupt him. She has the financial backing to do what she pleases. She has the 401k money and wealthy parents. She recently bought a house in Utah with no money down, no income(except child support) and still being responsible for a house here in Nevada. She gets child support from the father of HER son. That'll end in June 2001.
My question is, do you think that she'll get any more by going to superior court? The judge here gave her minimul funds because he didn't find her testimony credible (she committed fraud and was found guilty, which was a misdemeanor). She even admitted to signing my boyfriend's name to MANY legal documents, including taxes and a contract to a new car, in which she is behind and is about to be repossessed. The judge probably felt that if he didn't give her anything, she would appeal. Well she is appealing anyway. What kind of advice would you give someone who is looking at the possibility of having to pay this woman who is just in it for the pleasure of seeing him writhe and to sponge as much money out of him as she can. What kind of defense does he have? He is having to work 3 and 4 extra days on top of his 4 or 5 12-hour shifts to cover the bills he has now. He stopped his 401k. How can a judge order him to pay her more when there is no money to go around? This hasn't yet materialized, but I'm sure it will. She wants to bankrupt him and/or make him as miserable as possible. This woman is truly an evil work of destruction! How can a man defend himself against someone like her who is a VERY good actress?? The courts are always kinder to women because they see more bad men. It's just the opposite, here. I can only hope I can be a good support for him and hope that the judge will see right through her lies and give her nothing.
Your advice???

Too many questions, too many ins and outs, too long, got boring, fell asleep, blah, blah, blah, blah, biatch, moan, blah, blah, take a pill.

My response:

Not cool HolyRoller. If you have nothing to say, how about not responding at all?

Please keep this in mind for the next time.

Thank you.
