This is true. That's common sense. I received the house in our
divorce. As everyone knows it takes a lot to keep and maintain a
house. All of that money would have went for housing, food , medical
and education for my dependent daughter. I have been working 2 jobs,
my dependent daughter has been working for the past several years to
help with her own expenses. She is now in college and on the A honor
role. . It's the principal of what happened. My ex and his family
kept this information from us. Their just cruel people.
