California is not a common-law marriage state; nor is it a palimony jurisdiction.\n\nUnless there is something you haven't said it's hard to see a basis for her claim. If she did, contrary to what seems to have been the case, make contributions towards payment on the house or mortgage, she may have some sort of claim. Otherwise she is blowing smoke.

Here's the thing, if she racked up the bill while they were still married, he's stuck with it. If she got a NEW card account in his name after they were divorced, it's fraud and illeagal, sue her.

You can be sued by that guy, however, if you told the truth, he should loose.  It might even be thrown out of court without a trial.  Most likely, he is bluffing and there will be not lawsuit.

I would probably try to get a hold of something personal of his...and tell him he can have it back when you get your $300!\n Going to court will teach him a lesson...but it may leave you out of pocket!\n Could you get another family member to talk to him about it?

I have been there. My ex-wife accused me of abuse..the part she didn't tell was she had a boy friend and she wanted lot's of $$$$.\nThank God she didn't win..it was thrown out of court..I wish I had it on video tape. She became confused in her story. I could have got some very serious time in jail. I could have sued the hell out of her..but I let it go

if he gives a quit claim deed and she accepts, then she owns the house. The brother has to sue the husband for damages from him relinquishing his rights to the property to the wife.\n\nHere's a question for you: Is this a community property state and did the husband sign a contract with his brother without his wife's signature? ;)\n\nRegards

You can't sue him what is it with people wanting money for noting now days. Try calling the police with a disturbing the peace charge.

To those who claim it's the mans fault, he should have to pay, forget that it takes two totally comitted people to have a marriage.\n\nWhen a woman stone-walls her feelings, expects her husband to mind read, uses him for nothing more than an ATM and someone convienient for squashing bugs, and then has an affair, I'm wonding how much it can really be the man's fault in a situation like this.\n\nBut the truth is, neither is totally innocent or totally guilty in a broken marriage.\n\nGiven that women file 2/3rd of all divorce actions in the US, and are pretty certain they will get the kids unless they are hard core criminals,  I often wonder the same things.\n\nNot all me who end up divorced are cheaters.  Many more times than folks would like to admit, it was mom cheating, and she still gets the kids and child support.\n\nHowever, there is hope.  At least in my case, she didn't get sole custody, and she didn't get the house or 1/2 of everything.  She only got 1/2 of what we accumulated during the marriage.  Since I had documents going back to when I married showing my net worth then, all of those assets came off the table when it came time to split the marital property. \n\nWhat I owned before was NOT marital property and mine to keep.\n\nFrankly, I'm better off financially now, 3+ years after her affair came out and she left.\n\nShe is worse off financially.  Sure, her life looks nice, luxury apartment, new VW Beetle.  But she is living paycheck to paycheck, not always having money to do anything other than stay in her apartment and stare at the walls.\n\nBefore, we went on a couple of vacations / year, Disney, Vegas, Mackinac Island, DC, Vancouver Island, etc.  Now, she stays home, or goes when her lover can come into town and take her somewhere.\n\nI"m sure she's not saving anything for retirement, as her apartment costs more than my mortgage before I get to deduct the interest and everything.  \n\nYes, I kept the home!  We bought it together and I kept the home.\n\nI do think women shut you out when they divorce you.  Actually, long before.\n\nThey don't get everything, I'm proof of that.  I still believe I did more right than wrong, and certainly didn't deserve the treatment I got during the marriage and divorce.  But I do believe that what goes around, comes around.\n\nHer lover left a 30 year marriage to be with her and travels extensively for his job.\n\nHe will cheat her, or since he's much older than me, she'll be changing his Depends pretty soon, and I'll laugh sitting with my hot red-headed woman at the unwise ex-wife who left me for all that fun.

Yes, but it might be difficult to prove. It is called...i think slander or public defaming or something like that. Despite this, proof of the action(s) might be very difficult to prove, and the cost of the suit might not be reasonable.

Yes nowadys anyone can sue anyone no matter where they are living. It is more if a case of when are they going to sue you compared to if they are going to sue.\nWhat you should do is get in touch with them and discuss your problems, they may allow you more time or something, you never know

She would have grounds to sue you on the grounds of defamation if you follow through.  Instead, take her to small claims court.

I agree 100% with you....I don't know what the statute of limitations is on this, but he might be able to get justice in the civil suits against him if he's still alive....for my concern, I WOULD see restitution for this injustice, & blood is NOT thicker than water....if they are an ess-●-ъ,\nthey are!....regardless of WHO they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is possible they could take you to court, but if they are squabbling over a few thousand dollars likely they are just bluffing.  It is expensive for them to pursue legal action.  These punk creditors always threaten legal action.  Yes they can, but it doesnt always make financial sense for them.  You cant squeese blood from a stone, or something like that.  They are just trying to shake you down for money.
