ORIGINAL: DesFIP I don't believe that she never made an issue of this in three years. I don't believe she didn't warn him she was at the end of her rope. He chose not to get help. He did? How do you know this? Beyond this, why didn't he, in all the years he worked, never set up a savings account? Why didn't he provide for himself? Because if she had lost her job, they both would have been homeless. If she had been hit by a bus, he would be in the same boat. And trust me, if it's come down to lawyers, then yes she made an issue of this a long time ago. He chose to refuse to take responsibility for himself. I hope you don't take him in, because if you do, you'll be in the same boat with someone not working and not taking responsibility for his own life. But your choice. This is not only cold, but misinformed. Having suffered manic/depression, and been unable to work, or even function for a time, I have first hand info. Depression is not a choice. Daily i prayed for my mind back. If it were not for the help of a friend, who gave me a place to live, and restarted my candle business i would be dead. I had planned it all out. She saw it and acted, without ever addressing the issues directly. To the OP. In South Dakota, where i live, it is illegal to evict anyone from November to April, due to the harsh conditions. I wonder if other states have such laws, his perhaps? If they have been together for 18 years, there should be some community property law that will come into effect, although that may take some time to sort out. He should go to legal aid and see what they can do to help him. Unless there is physical battery and evidence thereof upon her, from him, he should be able to start a countersuit to buy some time. Usually a notice from an attorney needs to be served. Then time for a response. Until the sheriff or other person has served a legal COURT order, he cannot be removed. These types of cases can take several months. In the interim you can help him seek other options in the event he will still be displaced. manxcat ______________ I would rather be vilified for doing the right thing than be praised for doing the wrong thing.
