What is wrong with our legal system???
      01/20/05 12:47 PM

Hello all! I am so stressed out and I don't know what to do!!
My boyfriend, whom I live with, has been trying to divorce his Italian ex for two years. They have been physically separated since March 03 and she moved back to Italy a year ago. Since then, he has been giving her $100/month to pay her ONE credit card, while he is left with over $50K in credit card debt (she has a $60K student loan). She has a bachelor's degree and training in several areas, mostly in Art. However, she spent 8 of their 10 year marriage in school and never worked full time, but began working photography jobs after graduation in 99, as well as assisting and a part time photo editing job. She then took more classes in graphic and web design - BUT never worked full time. She also has business training in Italy. They have no kids. My boyfriend is a security/police officer with no degree. After my bf stopped the $100/mo. deposit to her- From Italy, she filed a Motion for Spousal Support in the amount of $800/month. She is claiming her ONLY income is from a stock photography agency, which she is calling her 'employment'. But basically, she is refusing to go out there and get a job, while my bf and I (both without degrees) work our butt's off. I'm now having to get a second job. I'm freaking out because it seems there might be a good chance someone living in another country can get monthly payments from a man in debt, when we have no idea how much money she's REALLY making. How can this happen? Are judge's this unfair. PS- She is the one who had an affair and ended the marriage, but we're in California, and it doesn't matter. I'm working on his case for court (rep'ing himself) PLEASE HELP BEFORE I EXPLODE!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE! :p
