What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi
My daughter just told me that she has cheated on her husband, and naturally he is ready to break ties with her. She is 21 and in college (which I pay for), they bought a house together about a year ago, and they hae been married for nearly two years. I presume that she has very few assets from the marriage since she is a full time student. She does have a part time job, but not for much money. They recently bought a car together that is in his name, and I think they placed a decent downpayment on it which probably came from the sale of the car that I gave to her, probably in the $5-6k neighborhood. I have advised her to remove her belongings from the house, only the things that she knows are hers, nothing more. I told her to advise him that she was going to do so, and to have the police present if possible. I have also advised her to remove from their joint account whatever money is hers, not a dime more. He has cancelled her debit card, and I am afraid that he will clean out the account. I honestly think that she will not have any cash because he pays most of the bills anyway.
My question is.. what is the quickest way to make this go away. I don't care if she comes away with anything more than what is rightfully hers. I have no desire to cause any hardships or unfair treatment to her husband because he is a great kid that we love dearly, however, I do want to protect my daughter and ensure that she is treated fairly. (I am deeply disappointed with her, but there is nothing like the love you have for your child.. right?)
What should I do?
Thanks
