Abba -“Salary worker making $100K per year happily married with a house and child. He devorces his wife and gives her the house and all assets plus $25K per year for alimony/child support. Etc.”
LOL.
I never ever heard such Krumme Logic in my life.
Do you know how much the legal fees would cost?!?
Trust me it’s not worth it.
I’m not going to tell you what I do.
So someone, Not me, can work Totally off the books.
They can even have a bank account, I live NJ, the law says up to a thousand is exempt from garnishment.
So eventually the person should declare Bankruptcy, but this can give you years to do it leisurely!
If s/o wants further advice, they can pay for it, either me or a lawyer that knows this.
