Needing help, 2 kids, lawsuit, bankruptcy and greedy father
Hello and God bless to everyone. Let me tell you something about myself and my family and why I am here right now asking for help. We are supposed to receive money from the sell of a house we used to live in that was promised to us. However, my husband’s dad backed out on the agreement and wanted to keep the money for himself. He told my husband way back that he is buying him a house as my husband does not qualify for a loan at that time, on the condition that my husband will pay the mortgage and the downpayment monthly. My husband did.
A few years ago, they decided to remodel the house to sell for profits and his dad told him that whatever profits when the house sells will be my husband’s. My husband worked day and night overseeing the remodel and performing most of the major work to save money (drafting house model, electrical, landscaping etc.), not getting paid for his time and work effort. I used to work outside to pay bills.
Earlier this year, while I was pregnant and depressed, his dad kicked us out of the house with our then 1-1/2 year-old first born and refused to honor the agreement they signed together. We did not foresaw this happening, we had no savings so we were forced to rent in the bad side of town, the cheapest apartment that is bedbug infested and I fear every night for my kids (I gave birth to our 2nd child this July). Now, we are in the process of suing him after a long taxing process of looking for an attorney that we can afford (nobody seems to accept pro bono or contingency on real estate issues). My husband and his dad do not really get along well, and we suspect that he only used my husband to pay for mortgage and downpayment, and does not really intend to give us the house or the profit in the first place.
Now, we are looking to move out of the apartment as soon as possible, move down to San Diego where it is cheaper and safer. We barely make it here. My husband cannot do heavy work outside due to a medical condition and I work at home because of the baby, we sell on Ebay. We have not been able to pay our bills and on the brink of bankruptcy. Our truck my husband used to do landscaping was repossessed, he was not able to pay child support so his licensed was suspended. How do they think we will be able to pay if he cannot drive, therefore cannot work?
We just need to get through this year, pay some of our bills and child support so he can get his licence unsuspended or help us file bankruptcy. We do not even have spare money to buy gifts for our kids this Christmas.
If you need to know or verify if my story is true, I can give you the contact number of our attorney, the address of the house that got sold, and other relevant papers to prove everything.
Thank you again.
