It seems to me that this whole mega fia$co could be settled between parties over an liverwurst sandwich with arugula tomato red onion Dijon mustard and swiss cheese on pumpernickel bread with a side of sweet potato chips and and sour pickles.

Of course the beverages would be a choice or creme soda birch beer sasparilla or moxie.

I happen to believe world peace would be achieved over this very meal!

If you manage to get the parents and your baby mama to team up against you, trust me, you are not doing something right. Even Judge MorningWood appears to be playing hardball with him also. Just maybe, all this money has managed to bring out this individuals true colors.

If I were the anonymous winner, I would definely drop the case

The are, or at least were, two cases, and I'm not sure it's about his case. He acknowledges that he told his father without requiring an NDA, so that alone might have ruined his entire case. If it's the countersuit from the wife then he can go to court or accept any settlement she proposes, and it sounds like she's got a real grievance.

withdraw whatever support for the baby mama .

That's probably a contractual obligati... [ More ]

this guy was jealous, paranoid control freak even before he won the big bucks. if he's got a new chick, she should think twice about having a kid with this guy.

For a living revocable trust, the trustee/ winner is still legally and directly in charge and controls the money. The control in transferred only if you as the trustee are incapacitated or deceased.

I have one and there is no difference.

Goes to show that when you win the lottery, create Trust that can claim the check on your behalf. The less they know you're the winner, the least likely they'll be able to get a hold of your assets. That's because once everything goes into a Trust, you'll no longer have legal claim to the wealth directly. This way the Baby Mama can't make a claim for the wealth...

I agree. You can do NDAs but if the signatory tells anyone, it is difficult to prove the gossip chain. Tell no one and forget about formal promises of money. You do not have to explain your wealth. Just say at most you have investments.

As I mentioned before, I live in a very nosy and materialistic part of the USA. If someone starts asking nosy financial questions, I do the fake shock routine and ask them if they are having financial issues and offer to help them find a debt counselor and sa... [ More ]

When money is involved, trust no one.

Don't even trust yourself

* l wonder if the judge reached he or her decision based on the fact that Maine 's population is under 1.5 million.

This is so wierd.

why kidnap your own daughter? There's too much animosity with the ex. I'm surprised she doesn't file a restraining order. And just because he's a millionaire now doesn't allow him to boss parents, court, ex, or anybody else around. This probably won't be the last we hear of him in the news either.

If I were the anonymous winner, I would definely drop the case and withdraw whatever support for the baby mama . I would only abide by whatever support the court ordered me to give. Other than that, cut her off and move on.

I feel as if this person is the type to sue for the principle. If he does, sue and move out of the state and start a new life, change your name, etc.
