What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
Hello, my name is Sasha. I'm 23. I live with my mom in Georgia. She has been separated from my father for 7 years. He resides in Kentucky, and he files taxes separately from she and I. He'd like to claim us, however he never supports us, so why should he? Why haven't they divorced? There are a few reasons. She still has a glimmer of hope that he might change his ways and we can be a family again, though that glimmer is fading fast. Besides that, there is a more practical reason. My father was in the military for neigh on 20 years. As long as they are legally married mom can use the military hospital and dentist and gets military insurance. It may seem like a small thing, but she and I have struggled a lot to stand on our own feet. Not to long ago niether of us were employed and we lived in lowly gov't housing. Now we both have good jobs, have our own car loans, and a decent apartment.
At any rate, here is the heart of the matter. My father has decided to purchase a house. He has TERRIBLE credit, but has appearantly worked very hard to get someone to agree to loan him the money. The only hurdle in his way is mom won't sign his papers. I told her not to because i don't want another of his mistakes affecting OUR credit. I don't want her to owe anyone when he can't pay his bills.
He insists that it is Kentucky law that since they are married, both must sign and the moment she signs he will send another paper along assuring her that she is not on the loan at all, just on the deed, or whatever, and soon after that he can even remove her from the deed if she wishes. I did not believe him, however even a representative from the bank giving him the loan (I think it is a bank) called to reassure my mom that he was telling the truth and we will not be negatively affected in anyway.
IS THAT TRUE??
The papers he sent us are only good for a short while, then he must pay to do it all again, which upsets him. He thinks we are just being mean and that we don't want him to be happy. He says if she continues to refuse to sign them (the main reason I don't want her to is that under her name it says BORROWER or APPLICANT and I don't want to owe a dime), that he will just send divorce papers, that way he won't need her signature.
And maybe it is time to get the divorce over with, however, it will put a great strain on mom and I, for both of us to be without medical insurance...in fact, if she tries to get the insurance for herself through her current job, they will take out of her paycheck, and we may not be able to afford this apartment. AT LEAST my own insurance should kick in within 50 days or so.
Please help us, anyone, if you can. We cannot even begin to afford a lawyer.
