Ok, here's the scenario. A buddy of mine is hooked up with this chick that just got divorced to be with him - she started cheating on her husband with him. They now have an apartment together. Her and her husband are both jobless. In the divorce so far it has been decided that they get 50/50 custody of the kids (3 of them!).
She claims that if she gets a job, it will be held against her and that she would even lose the 50% custody she gets now. She also claims that it's because of my buddy that she got 50% of the custody only, because he has had a misdemeanor or felony or something, some 20 years ago when he got caught with a joint or something.
At one point she was claiming that it would be best if he moved out (they're going back and forth on breaking up as it is) so that she can take that reason off the list and go back to court about it. That was before she found out that what she was counting on - her parents - to pay the rent, said no. Now, after she's pissed off my buddy and he wants to leave, she wants him to stay because otherwise she has no way of paying the rent and she would get evicted and thus even less chance of getting her kids...
I told him it sounds to me like a big fucking guilt trip (probably to get him to move out and still pay for her apartment), but he buys her "my lawyer told me not to get a job because daycare from a responsible parent sounds worse than some loser on welfare in court". Do our courts/judges really work like that?
LTD - this is the guy I brought over to your lot to look at cars... who claimed the coolant in that 400 dollar buick smelled burned
