Now she's selling the trailer
A few months ago, The Ex and/or her attorney submitted a proposed marital settlement agreement because she and Boyfriend are still legally married. According to what she submitted, The Ex and Boyfriend have allegedly $30,000 in assets and $19,000 in debt; among other things, The Ex somehow valued Boyfriend's truck at only $2,000 but conveniently left her vehicle out of the calculation. The Ex is essentially proposing that she be awarded the majority of the assets and come out approximately $10,000 ahead, while Boyfriend would be left with only his truck and nearly $8,500 in debt.
Daughter told Husband and I that last weekend, The Ex went back to New City to get the rest of her things from the trailer she & Boyfriend own so that she could list it for sale. Daughter said that The Ex had to take her friend with her because there are four other people living there who do not speak English and The Ex is unable to communicate with them.
I found the listing on Craigslist. The Ex was originally asking $29,000 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath trailer; three days later, she dropped the price to $26,500. Online records show that in 2012, The Ex & Boyfriend bought it for $14,000; apparently, she either doesn't understand depreciation or is simply ignoring the fact that her asking price is insane.
In addition to The Ex thinking she can get nearly twice what she paid for a trailer home five years ago, there is another twist to the plot. A few years ago, an insurance company sued Boyfriend and won a judgment against him for nearly $6,000; subsequently, a lien was filed against the trailer. However, The Ex did not include this lien on her proposed settlement which leads me to believe that she doesn't even know it exists. The Ex cannot legally transfer ownership of the trailer until she satisfies said lien, but she needs to sell it because she's run out of money. Unfortunately, it's very obvious that she doesn't think she should have to pay any of her own debts, let alone Boyfriend's debts.
It's going to be interesting to watch and see how this unfolds over the next few months. I don't think she'll find anyone stupid enough to actually give her this much money for a trailer that's twenty-two years old but even if she does, she'll still have to satisfy the lien that's not even hers. I just can't even wrap my head around the financial mess she's gotten herself into...
