Real Estate

I'm getting a divorce and giving my wife all of my shit. Don't be surprised to find me bleeding on the ground at a tailgate.

Simple answer, look for another house, unless you are willing to wait out the divorce process in hopes the final decree awards her custody of the house.

Yeah, I'd look elsewhere. Sounds like they could put you on their schedule. Unless you can be patient. Then really make sure the title has no claims.

Sounds too messy for me.

If ex's parents cut her a check for $50k, she is going to have to pay taxes on it, right?

Gift tax kicks in after $20k/person.

Going by 2013 numbers she has to pay on $22K of that. Probably more by now

It's per person, so each parent can give $14k (not sure why I thought it was 20). But then there's the lifetime exemption, so taxes are not likely.

Gift Tax

Eh, whatever. I hope she takes him to court and get the home + alimony + child support + one of his testicles.

Thanks for the clarifications, bros!

Don't be surprised if you ever attend a tailgate and suddenly find yourself on the ground, bleeding profusely from your nose and mouth, wondering wtf just happened...

Did I tickle your sore spot?

You broke the bro code, bra

Don't worry, it will likely come back and bite me in the ass when I end up in a one bedroom apartment enjoying the icehouse I purchased with the leftovers of my paycheck.

Moving to Seattle soon? Or, was it Portland?

Seattle

Didn't you already make up a story like this before?
