“$250,000 Legal Fee?”

They say that divorce is expensive, but not being married and splitting up is even more expensive. I could not help this man refinance, as he needed to raise enough money to pay his legal fees and paying off a settlement with his former girlfriend.

The settlement with the girlfriend was $75,000 and the legal bill $250,000. The legal fees were approved by the court. This situation is only going to get worse, as there is very little equity in the property and these two obligations have to be paid by the middle of July.

This poor guy says, let my ex-girlfriend and my attorney take my property. I sent him to a bankruptcy attorney, as he needs a lot of help.

I know there are always two sides to every situation, but this one is really bad. Sometimes the math just doesn’t make sense to me, but what do I know.
