My father may be put out on the street!?

Question

My mother is moving out tomorrow and my dad completely objects to this. He is in financial trouble with major debt and a failing business and he cannot secure payments on the house alone. My mom is fed up with him and wants to leave because my dad is never home. Mind you my dad has back and leg problems and is working from 7am-late evenings and comes home exhausted. He wears second hand clothes and gives us money to buy good clothes until recently(My mom works now so she does most of that) He usually pays the bills but he can't do it alone and he has the idea that the family needs to stay together. He wants 50/50 payment and knows if we leave he'll wind up on the street, he cannot afford the mortgage alone and cannot pay for rent at the same time while selling the house. My dad does not want the house signed over to him like my mom said she would and wants her to take the bad credit as he will. My mom's moving date is tomorrow and I really don't want my dad out on the street.

Answer 1

YOUR MOM IS MEAN AND SELFISH FOR NOT STAYING
NOW THAT SHE HAS A JOB AND CAN HELP OUT. YOUR DAD DOESN'T HAVE TO SIGN ANYTHING. SHE IS WALKING OUT ON HIM, SO I ADVISE YOUR DAD TO
GET A LAWYER AS SOON AS SHE LEAVES !!!!!

Answer 2

How about getting a job and helping Your Dad. If your Mom moves out, that doesn't mean that she isn't responsible for some of the bills. If her name is on the house, she can't just sign over the house and walk away. The bank will have something to say about that. If she is getting a divorce than that can all be taken care of then. Your Parents need to put the house up for sale and then they both would be out from under the burden.

Answer 3

Your parents should not stay together just because of money.

I don't know your parents, so I don't know why they can't work out how to pay for the house or to work out staying together long enough to sell it, and that is really unfortunate.

He can stay in the house until it's sold, he doesn't have to pay for rent in addition to the mortgage while he sells it. Once he sells the house, he will have plenty of money to rent an apartment.

These kinds of things happen. It sucks, but your dad is a grown man. He will figure out what to so that he doesn't end up homeless.

Answer 4

if your dad has back and leg problems then maybe he should try for social security but that takes a long time, what he could also do is if you are staying with him he could go to the welfare office a file for rent and foodstamp help, he can also call the electric company and get of a thing called life support, it helps low income poeple with there bill. he can also do the same with other utility bills. you father is not going to end up on the street. talk to him about the welfare office. my uncle had to do they same and now he is fine. there is also a thing at the welfare office for vetrens help if you father was ever in the military. your father should also go to the bank and expline what is going on and what they think he should do about the house.
