Are you afraid of "lawsuit abuse".

I can understand if an ex-spouse would keep taking and taking child support and then spending it on themselves etc.I have heard before where that is a common compliant that the father doesn't mind paying more if they knew it benefited the child and not the ex-spouse abusing the funds.

ANd I will get to the bottom of this, including Legal AID if I have to.There are other people out there who is honest and better waiting to get into section 8, instead of someone who abuse the rules.

Too late...they already got me for $25,000 to go on a bus tour at the end of July

Malcolm, thank you for the compliment - I don't  know about elaborate; (but I love the word), i do know if you have been experimenting with contracts and negotiating, been abused by lenders, been circumvented by agents and questionable competition - you learn a thing or two.

I don't abuse this, but it is nice to simply ask and get an answer.  

When my mother tried to move it away, he yelled abusively at her.

Washers and dryers can be abused (it's hard to abuse a refrigerator) by putting too much clothes in, not cleaning the traps, etc, and a microwave can be run with no items, metallic items, etc. 

You can bet your britches that I am still worried one of his kids will find out how little he sold it for and sue me, claiming I lied, cheated, and committed elder abuse.

They don't understand the value of things, so for them to totally destroy your blinds, abuse your appliances, knock holes in walls, etc. is a regular day for them.
