If I had time, I could write a book on all the crafty (and crappy) things my x has tried to pull....
The latest is that she has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in the Federal Court system where all bankruptcies are heard. She included a judgement for child support in her filings but didn't disclose that it was indeed child support. Under the bankruptcy laws, you are not to be "forgiven" or "relieved" of your obligations in a Domestic Order (CS). I have spoken with the Trustee's who handle these types of matters and they have suggested that I write a letter to her Attorney with evidence that shows the previous orders of the Court that contradict her claims that this is just a normal judgement of the Courts.
I have written my letter, provided information to her Attorney that refutes her claims that this is anything other than CS. She testified under oath that this is NOT CS. Penalties for perjury in Federal bankruptcy court, when it's of a material nature (not disclosing assets as one should, artificially increasing the amount of a debt owed so as to make it a no-brainer in the assets to debts columns, or the nature of the debt) is $500,000 or 5 years in prison as a maximum penalty.
I don't necessarily want to see her punished, but want to encourage her attorney to either 1) amend the filing or 2) withdraw it entirely, in either event, the CS should show back up on the worksheet as a priority non-secured debt ....
Has anyone else had to deal with a crazy, got nothing to lose x-wife that's pulled this kind of stuff? Any advise?
