My situation is complex, i'll try to sum it up... my brother is getting divorced from his wife, with whom he owned and managed 2 sucessful businesses...in her bitter state, she is claiming he stole thousands of dollars from the businesses, in addition, and where i come in, she claims he gave me $30,000,in cash, for the downpayment on my house. this is most certainly not true. she maliciously obtained my settlement information from my realtor, and only after seeing that i put down $30,000, she made this accusation.
more than half of the money was in my fiance's account (we own together) the rest came from a gift from my mom, and a few thousand in cash which we had saved at home.
they already subpeonad my mother's bank records, which show where her portion came from...i guess ultimately, my question is how far can this go? once you own a house, you own it, right? i proved to my mortgage lender that the money was ours, and not borrowed. isn't that enough

She's trying to argue that your bro was hiding assets in anticipation of divorce. Get your documentation together and move for sanctions against her in divorce court. (Civil Rule 11, probably - everyone who signs a document that goes to the court is swearing that they believe the facts to be true after reasonable investigation and that they aren't doing this for malicious reasons.)
