How much trouble could I get in if I wrote on my soon to be exhusband's car?

Question

You know that white paint that you can get? How much trouble could I get in if I wrote...

"I cheated on my wife and ruined my 7 year old son's family"

on the back of his car?

Don't get me wrong, I already booted his ***, but this would be so satisfying. Just knowing that he was driving with that on the back of his car all day (he always backs in spots)

Thanks you first 2....

You made me laugh...first time in a couple days.

Answer 1

Depending on the State you live in it could be classified as vandalism, then the prosecutor work, they will stack the charges with damages to a paint job which will make it a Felony if your state recognizes $500.00 as a Felony.

Answer 2

I hope you are just mentally venting. As others have said you could be legally charged for a number of things. But there are other considerations.

Yes technically you own half of that car so you can do what you wish. Are you talking about that stuff that you can wash off? If it's that kind he will simply do so..... so no real point to it. Permanent paint will cost money and any debt he incurs or any claims to the insurance company becomes your debt as well. Even if it is the washable stuff if he takes pictures or has a witness it could seriously impact your settlement, custody or child support issues.

Right now he is probably keeping this quiet for the most part...... you just don't go up to friends, casual aquaintances or coworkers and say "I cheated on my wife". You do anything to make it super public (paint, phone calls, etc.) and there is going to be someone, or various people about who will give him ideas. Yes he cheated but there is the legal stuff.

The list is endless. Legally even if his name is not on the house or lease since you are married you have zero legal right to deny him from being there. He could show up w. the cops, you make a big deal and he leaves. You are screwed in court.

You do anything silly and then it could come down to his lawyer saying that HE will take custody but of course he won't if you agree to lesser child support. One silly thing and he might be able to threaten this all and YOU have to pay child support. Or even if your husband is not that smart...... someone will tell him that he could max out credit cards, apply for them, buy a car or whatever and you owe as well. He could cash out his 401K, quit his job and cash out vacation. He could quit his current job (saying he had to because of you) on good terms and take a lower paying one until this is all over. Your child support will be lower and he will then go back to the old one costing you tons to fix it. The list is endless.

No offence meant as certainly he deserves all of this. Yes he deserves your ire. But were there other issues? Yes he cheated and that is the worst betrayal in the world. But was this a long term thing? If you are young enough to ask about painting you might step back and think. Yes only you know the situation.

I think cheating is the worst. But some people get through it. The guy realizes he tossed away his life for nothing and works really hard to fix it over time. Regardless even if you are done sit down and have a simple calm conversation. Its still the childs father and you will have to deal with him later.

Answer 3

in case you're speaking on the subject of the white paint that comes suited off with washing with cleansing soap and water???? then no civil damages, although he can attempt and function you arrested for harrassement that isn't seem good in a custody case if he tries to choose for any sort of custody of your toddler. i don't blame you for being offended at his betrayal, yet I inform you this.... life has a manner of looking after those issues all by utilising itself. yet once you're able to understand the respond.. .not something substantial.... warning if not straight forward large..

Answer 4

Nothing like being arrested for vandalism.

But hey, it'd make the judge laugh and you'd probably get a measly fine. And if you did go to court, bring the press with you.

Answer 5

You can be charged with vandalism, criminal mischief, forced to pay for the repairs to the car plus a fine. Expensive, but hey if you think it's worth making a fool out of both of you in order to prove a point, then go for it.

Answer 6

The best revenge you can get is to ignore him. Let him see you HAPPY to be rid of him. Do not do anything nasty , because this is exactly what he expects you to do. Surprise him by looking after yourself, going out with friends, having a social life and if possible, go on holiday. Good luck.

Answer 7

Here's an idea...write all that on YOUR car and park close to his office for the whole world to see. Heck, it's YOUR car, bet they can't do much about that!!!

Also, drive it up to his parent's house, your church, etc. He didn't mind delivering this shame to YOU so might as well share it with everyone. Best wishes to you, keep your spirits up.

Answer 8

I wouldn't do it, they could change the settlement so YOU got that car instead and you would have to pay to get it fixed. I recommend finding something that is washable but doesn't look like it is. And you have to think about how your son might feel about it. He may not understand, but he may think it's ok to be disrespectful to his father.

Answer 9

What would this teach your 7 year old son?

The best revenge is to be a greater success than your ex-husband is and be happy.

Answer 10

not too sure...maybe you could get stickers or somthing so they can come off??? then youd still have the satisfaction of him driving around like that but if he threatens to do something about it then you can go rip them off...

totally awesome idea by the way!! id do the same thing!!
