My sister wants to leave her husband. Here is the background, they have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. My sister makes about $42000 a year. Her Husband ownes a landscaping company that is SEVERLY in Debt. about 5ish years ago he bought a new nissan pickup, enclosed trailer, big riding lawnmower and all the things needed and everything was brand new. I know all this is not paid off yet but have no idea how bad that is. They got a sizable income tax cheque back this year and he decided to expand his business without consulting my sister at all. He got himself about (estimated) $230 000 in new equipment. Granted he works very hard and does a very good job as well but they were in a very bad financial situation before these purchases. So he financed all these items before getting the income tax Cheque, and they were audited but everything was ok, just took longer. When he had the cheque first thing he did was buy an apple desktop computer, IPAD, apple IPhone 4s and so on and so forth. Now they have people asking them for money.
My sister still has student loans to pay, she has a $500 a month car lease payment, and all credit cards are maxed (not sure how much).
She wants out, individually either of them are not bad people but just very toxic together (in my opinion). My sister informed me she is planning on leaving their rental apartment with their daughter but that she wants to have a shared parenting schedule where they split the week up. I am concerned that she is going to leave the apartment with their daughter without serious conversation, she claims she got legal advice for this. I am just worried that by her taking drastic and sudden action he could try and force an emergency motion to have their daughter brought back and her to continue to pay her half of the rent and so forth. I doubt my sister would try for a false domestic abuse claim, and since she wants him to be a big part of their daughters life I worry that this will tarnish anything they could have, as he cannot afford the place on his own. I also worry about the very large debt that his company has as it is not incorporated.
He is terrible with money (his best friend works for Nike and has a wife who is a surgeon and he is trying to keep up with them).
My sister is very depressed and her mood swings are to the point that I do get scared that she may hurt their daughter, as she is unmedicated and whatnot but I am not going to get into details. I am just at a loss here about what to say as she sees me as a person to turn to since I have been going through this for 4 + years. I was not married though, and we had very little debt which I worked huge amounts of overtime in 4 months and paid it all off. I am not to familiar with what to do in her situation. Thank you
