Man in a financial trouble?

Why not make her dinner, give her a list of reasons that you love her, draw/paint/print a copy of the church/place that you were married in and promise her a return trip to renew your vows on your next anniversary (giving her time to plan a party).  Write her a poem or make her a mix tape.\n\nYou don't have to buy her a present.

You can consider taking him to small claims court. You won't need a lawyer for that. The information about how to do it is available from your local court system in your community. If you file a small claim and he fails to respond or show up, you will get a default judgement. That will allow you to attach to any property (real estate) and perhaps go after any payroll with a garnishment. For $1500, I would definately nail his asss to the wall.

It really depends on his situation.  If he has a payment schedule and is at least trying to honor it, you should be okay.  You should file income tax seperate though as his will go towards arrears.\n\nIf he's not at least trying to get caught up, they may garrnish his wages, but not yours.  If he's trying but is just having trouble, the courts are usually pretty cool.  I've been in this situation before, I just sent as much towards arrears as I possibly could and kept my nose clean and always contacted the courts when I was struggling with money.

If you are indeed a good friend of his then yes..I think you should tell him what you are seeing. But do it with kindness. No accusations...no saying things like you are living your life all wrong. You need to go in gently or you will put him on the defense. Something like.."hey Joe..I've been worrying about you lately. Seems you've been spending more money than you seem to have coming in. I'd really hate to see you get into financial hot water and lose more than you have.  Maybe we could set ourselves up with a finance therapist who can help us figure out how to fix this before it's out of control."  At least that way he sees that you are concerned and willing to help him. Not judging him. Good luck!

This unfortunately is just life. Do not loan anyone money or housing or food or anything else that you can't afford to lose, because you will be disappointed this way. Next time you get into a deal like this, have the other party sign an agreement (at least you will have it in writing). That won't get you paid, but it will make it easier to pursue should you choose. You will find that it is best to avoid these situations entirely. \nNow, that said, you could send him a bill (do this on your computer - make it neat, and then print him a copy). Mail it to him and be specific what the charges are for (dates of the stay, etc). Give him a phone number to call to discuss it. Mail by registered mail requiring an acceptance signature. If he does not respond by phone, send another letter the next month (same rules). He may just get tired of it and pay up. If he doesn't pay up, you will have a little documentation to rest charges on. I don't know how much we are talking about here, but it may be better to just chalk it up to experience, and be smarter next time. I have had to do that a few times as lessons learned. Good luck with your problem - hey, at least you don't still have the moocher living with you.

I'd call the police.  What you're describing is a crime, not merely a financial/contract issue.  It's like he's running a scam.  If the police won't do anything, then go to the magistrates office and file against him.  The secretary in the magistrates office will help you fill out the forms.  After you win before the magistrate, you can do a sherrif's sale on his personal property to collect your deposit and any court costs you incurred if he doesn't pay you in a timely manner.\n\nEdited to FocalBlur:  He/she paid by cash but has a receipt.  Even though there's no contract, he/she has a case because people don't just give money to people for no reason--a service should be rendered.  I agree saving the advertisements, keeping a log of phone calls, what was said on what date and what occurred, will back up the case.  But he/she's not screwed for paying cash since he/she did get a reciept.

You cannot get rid of his student loan debt, except in very rare and extreme circumstances.  Bankrupcty would be a good option if he has no property he can liquidate (sell to pay debts).  The bankrupcty trustee will make sure that he has no assets (stuff to sell). If his income is above the new standard, he may have to pay back a portion, but that probably isn't the case.  Good Luck!

Try to figure out a payment plan. Right now, the landlord has the power in the situation; he's the one who'd be able to use the terms of the lease to try to get you out of the property.\n\nBest to work with him to get out of arrears. If you do figure out a plan, and go through with your part of it, his part of it should be to leave you alone.

If you have access to the  money..spend it on what you need.  The court is going to give you alimony and child support as well.  He is angry and making an already tense situation worse.  June is very near so you will be free soon.

There is so much good advice already , but ...   I would like to add a little to it anyway, namely ,  PLEASE  see to it immediately that you have a job, an income of your own of some sort . Take your name off that account of his and get one in your own name . You do not need anybody else's  approval when you feel you want to spend some money . Earn it yourself and enjoy it yourself. Pay your debts and don't be a moocher living in a person's apartment etc., and they have total control over your destiny . He can do an about turn and kick you out any time if your name is not on the renter contract . All you need is a good fight or argument and you are history . I hope for your sake you put some money aside . Sure is hell to be hungry and have no place to keep warm . Look out for yourself and good luck to you .

he needs to be a man and take responsibility.  He needs to stay out of jail.  Get a real job and send the money he can  most importantly be there as a father not just a paycheck.

Try going to a local church for the help you need.  Those fast loan places are bad news.  Your financial problems will only increase.
