Some people are better off not married

Millhouse has a friend , S.  He lived with his girlfriend, Z for years.  They moved in together 6 months after they started dating and lived together for 8 years.  Z decided after 8 years that she wanted to have children and wanted to get married so she and S had a big blowout wedding.

Their marriage lasted less than a year.

S decided that he didn’t want kids and that a settled down family life in the suburbs wasn’t for him.

So he ran off with a stripper.  And no, I am not just calling his new girlfriend a stripper.  Her occupation is stripper.  S met her while she was working at the strip club.  He liked to get “extras” from her.  And yes, he thought she was worth leaving his partner of almost 10 years for.

And by ran off, I mean he has left the country and no one can find him.  Z is now in a very bad position.  When she and S separated they had a verbal agreement that she would move out of their home and he would stay there and put it up for sale.  Once the house sold, then they would split the profits 50/50 and each go on their way.  Neither of them knows much about estate law, but this seemed like the right thing to do.

Until S fled the country.

It turns out that S sold the house, privately and without Z’s permission, and all of the profits tied to the sale have now gone off with S and the stripper.  Z is seeing an estate lawyer barrie but right now it looks as though she is not going to get her money.  The estate lawyer Barrie is helping her work through her rights and file papers against S, for when he returns to Canada.

But right now she is stuck.

And really wishes that she never married the bastard.
