    Default A good friend's incipient divorce is about to turn nasty

    One of my friends who lives in Northern California is getting divorced, and apparently his about-to-be ex is going to commit fraud in trying to hassle him. She is a legal immigrant, and one of her relatives still lives in the foreign country. My friend found out some way, I don't know how, that she is having this relative create false documents that she received a huge financial loan from this relative. WIth California being a community property state, my friend believes he will be partially liable for the false loan.

    I'm sure he doesn't want to get nasty himself, as he is convinced his wife suffers from BPD, although she has never been diagnosed.

    I guess he needs to get a lawyer, fast, but I'm not quite sure what kind of lawyer or where. It would have to be someone either in the San Jose or San Francisco areas. And is there any way to test the age of the documents involved, if that might make any difference at all?

    Or should I just stay out of this thing completely? He is a very good friend, and I hate to see him going through this crap.

    Just be honest. Do NOT prepare for it. Act as astonished to see them then as if you saw them for the first time. If he looks to defend, he only helps the story. Just be HONEST.

    God I know where this is coming from
    People are not ruled by their memories.

    Naw this will just blow up in her face and she will be charged with fraud and perjury for making a false claim in court. She needs proof. A relative producing better not satisfy a Court. Bank transfers and what not showing she recieved money. Better believe the IRS will be interested too. My advice stay out yourself. He needs a Lawyer and to open new bank accounts in a different to with an entirely different Bank. Start any payments he is responsible for coming from that account and to put a fraud alert on his name and SSN.

    UNICORNS!!!!






    Just joking. Defintely help your friend out. If he is your good friend do that man a favor and give him some real talk. When someone is in a relationship they can be blinded. He might need a 3rd party to get involved. Just make sure your motives are completely wholesome.
