Suing at the Law - Page 3

Not sure of your situation or your laws but my husband worked as a contractor for a while. Here we can use a mechanics lien to compel payment also. The property can at least not be sold or remortgaged without the lien-holder getting paid. It is not a lawsuit but simply a recording of the debt with the county so that it shows up in any future title searches, etc. People who are in financial trouble will often be looking to sell/refinance. I am not sure if the lien stands if the property is foreclosed but it might. Just a thought.

T2W, in hindsight, would you have treated Mr. New Christian differently? Made him sign a promissory note, maybe? Ty

At the time I had been under such stress from the whole situation... In my world letting go of that kind of money is huge... and annual salary and then some... So I just wanted to be D.O.N.E. But yes if I had been able to distance myself more and be more objective I would have sought to insure payment in the future.

Watching him raking in $200K annually now and all the new toys his family is enjoying is by turns funny and annoying. At least they are still following after God and there is hope.

Well, sounds like they are following Mammon to me, and not to be unkind, but I'm finding that you didn't do them any favors?

Someone making money is not always following Mammon. I don't judge.

Not sure if what I did helped or hurt... either maybe not but God knows that it was never my intention to harm.

My husband tells me I can not educate the world... why can't I hear him?

When my car caught on fire in 1999 and took my house out the insurance company sued the car company. I choose not to join the lawsuit. I do not regret it.
However, i had family that sent me letters saying evil things when I got saved. i errored and did not pursue action to protect myself. now the family members involved know if they come near me I will get the police involved and sue. When i became saved they said I was mentally unstable and plotted against me. i will protect myself. This is an on going problem. people in my family like to steal inherintances by trying to prove that the person they are attacking is mentally unstable. yes, those people go to church, I do not see them as saved. Nor do i have anything to say to them.
I ALWAYS NEED PRAYER AGAINST THESE IDIOTS.

DD, I suspect that they are the type of people who actually drive others into nervous breakdowns.

Ha no, but someone worshipping money is, and I feel completely free here to judge for you. You did the right thing, and they are not doing the right thing.
I'd say that this will sound harsh, and I don't mean for you to apply it personally, but there is an argument that you missed an opportunity to educate them, lol.

Not saying that I would have done any different; at least before this thread. Ty for your story.

I have family like that.

I am hurting because she is taking care of our mother, using mom's money and won't talk to any of us, won't answer the phone when we call, won't call us to let us know how mom is doing. She even mentioned that when mom dies, she is going to cremate her and there will be no funeral or memorial service. I am aghast at her!

I also suspect that she probably won't tell us either when mom passes.
