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.

Sheril

Hello Sheril, I’m sorry to hear what you’ve been, and are, going through. It’s simply dreadful and you will be in my prayers tonight.

Oh my god, I just don’t know what to say. Yu seem to be having a very hard time (please don’t think I’m being rude!). Yes, I do think you should sue your husband because it seems to me that all he wants to do is dominate your life, keep all your money (and take it) and try to make your life as hard as possible. I think the reason he’sdoing this is so he can get his licence back. Well, he can’t, unless he pays up.

I’m sorry to hear what you’re, and ‘ve been, still going through in these troubled times for you, and they’ve been made worse by the credit crunch! And I hope you get by; don’t worry about what you’re going through, there’s always a way, don’t fret, you need to just stay calm and strong, and don’t let what you’re going through get you down.
Also, what’s the medical condition with your husband?

For such a long missive, you are not very clear. You do a good job of writing a sob story, but I don’t even know after reading it if you WANT your husband to help out or if he, his father, or who-knows is the real problem here.

Furthermore, you aren’t clear on what you’re asking for. Are you asking for money? Are you begging? Do you just want solace? People to say “oh man that sucks” What?

Remember, you may be in a bad situation, but you are still alive! And it sounds like you are healthy sans a mental issue that sounds minor. Stop holding onto grief, move on, and fix things yourself. If you’re an Ebay person and you have to raise these two kids (who will not be productive for many years) you need to be the Ebay Queen to pull this off! Stop waiting for people on here to send you money, or Comrade Obama to send you mine against my will. You can do this yourself. It will not be fun. It will be rewarding.

Rent pursuit of Happyness. His wife was worthless, and he made it. Keep hope alive.

Hello, my husband has pancreatitis. He has been hospitalized twice last year because of it. I may have confused some of you. It’s his father, my father-in-law, that is greedy and who breached contract/agreement that we will get profit from share of the house we used to lived in after it was remodeled and sold. My husband paid the monthly mortgages and downpayment back to his father before they agreed to remodel (his father told him the house is my husband’s but the title remained in his dad’s name).

I am still with my husband. My values will not let me leave my husband, especially in our current situation. Our current situation has been a big stressor to us and my depression, they had affected our marriage but we are trying to work everything out. His child support is with his ex-wife. There was no way we could pay the child support when we got kicked out of the house earlier this year as I had to stop working because of my pregnancy and depression, and we had to rent a studio apartment, we had no savings as my husband worked in the house remodeling and did not get paid when it was sold. Did I also say that the state suspended my husband’s license because of this so he cannot even drive to look for work or do landscaping? Most companies need somebody with a valid driver’s license.

We are in the process of suing his dad for breach of contract but for the meantime living in dire poverty. I and my 2 kids receive WIC and thank God they are a big help but we thought we will not burden the state and get food stamps, section 8 or welfare! We are not disabled and we are not leechers, and we still manage to eat on time 3 times a day.

I am not really begging for money. I have skills, I can be a virtual secretary or transcriptionist. We also sell on ebay, some electronic stuff and intend to sell used clothes, bags, shoes and silver jewelry on Ebay. Lately, I have been getting nonpaying bidders so I decided to open up a new account just to see if the nonpaying bidders will spare me. I do not want handouts but now is not the time be proud. However, I am not an invalid, just poor and I would appreciate for anyone to just buy from me or give me virtual secretarial job or transcription job that I can do in my place so I can still be with my family, especially my newborn. But if you have anything to spare despite the recession our economy is facing, I will not turn away from your help.

I have seen pursuit of Happyness and his was a really inspiring story. I am not losing hope that we will come out of this situation, its just a matter of time. It may take long to get our money because of how the legal system is but for now, we do really need help and I am trying my best to make things work out.

Thanks Everyone.
