What is the name of your state? Michigan
Ok this is about as soap opera as you can get but here goes. Back in March my best friend of 20 years and his girlfriend were having issues and I told him anytime he needed a place to stay he could stay here. He moved in and said he would help with the bills since he was living here and his son was living here 1/2 the time also. April came around and my wife overdrew our checking account. He offered to give me money to put into to bank. He game me 700.00 and told me not to worry about it and to pay my house payment and other bills first.
A few weeks back I found out he told my wife of 8 years that he had always had feeling for her and he wished they were together. I found out she was taking time off work to hang out with him. They were never sexually intimate, but there was kissing and such. My wife told me she only overdrew the account because she was going to leave to be with him and that she didn't care. He left the night I confronted him about it and had his ex come get his things. My wife and I sat down for 4 hours and she told me everything, although he wont admit any of it. We have reconciled our relationship, but with a big trust issue. He is not suing me for the money and I am thinking about a countersuit for 25% of my household expenses. Maybe marriage counseling, but I don't know how far that would go.
Please tell me how this might turn out. I have been thinking about bringing up his character in court. He is hooked on Vicodin, ran to another state because he thought he was going to get in trouble for forging prescriptions, hasn't filed taxes in 4 years, owes $1000.00 in back child support, I know he has broken into cars and stolen things a number of years ago, recently he left the scene of an accident. The list goes on, but I don't know if any of this will have any bearing in small claims court.
I have took 25% of my household expenses (mortgage, food, elec, gas) and it comes to 445.00/month. He lived here for almost 2 months. There is nothing written for anything, but I don't want to lie in court, I am sure since there was an oral offer and acceptance that this means something. Can someone help me out here. Do I have any claim against him? Mental anguish, this really did turn my life upside down? Living expenses?
