[quote=Anonymous]I did exactly that. I found the attorney. Did the following things even though in a community property state:

1.  I engaged and paid the attorney directly. I told my SIL there would be no fight over the few assets they had. He walked away with what was his and she walked away with what was hers.  I told the attorney there would be no payment for this to get contentious.  Her ex was an avid hunter and I told him there would be no fight over the rifles he acquired during marriage if he kept things calm and efficient. That seemed to work.

2.  They had one bad financial asset—a truck they were upside down on badly. I offered to pay the overage of the truck loan if they sold it to a neutral third party. This would buy her out of the mistake. He couldn’t let his truck go, so he kept it.

3.  She moved from a semi-rural area to our urban metro.  Stayed with us for three months while she got on her feet.

4.  We paid for some other stuff. Everything we paid for, we paid directly. [/quote]
