My granddaughter and her ex-husband were to meet at their home for Britt to retrieve her belongings. It didn't go as planned. For example, Ex wasn't there. Oh, he had been earlier and put what he believed to be hers in the driveway. Okay?
His brother-in-law was there to 'keep' Britt from going into her home. He had turned into someone she didn't even recognize. When Britt told him she had every right to go into the home, he became belligerent and slapped a hand against a window.
So, as it was, the material objects that 'ex' decided she could have were loaded into a U-Haul and brought here to be placed into the garage. Missing were the rest of Britt's clothes, some of Hunter's clothes. Also, the kitchen utensils, dinnerware, pots pans etc. Nope, she didn't get to bring anything of that nature here. Y'all it was a 'court order' that she could go into 'her' house to retrieve what was hers. Hindsight being 20-20, she should have had a police officer there to watch over the situation. Britt still believing Matthew to be a kind and honest person, she didn't do that.
To back up a bit - yes, the house was passed onto to Matt from his grandmother. Okay? However, according to FL law the home, since he was married to my granddaughter at that time, the house was 'theirs'. Even if he tried to remain the full owner, back a few years ago he wanted to get a loan to pay the boat off and a few other things. Do you think he was able to get a 'home loan' without her signature? Nope, she had to sign the loan. Why? Because she was 'half' owner of the house. If that doesn't ring a bell, I don't know what would.
Needless to say, yesterday was confusing, sad and off the chart. The court order stated that Britt and Matt were to be at the house to discuss what was hers, what was his. She came back here so upset, I cried for her. :(
Only time will tell the outcome when they go for a court hearing in August. Britt's attorney has tried to explain to her that eventually all will be well, and those negatives will turn into positives. And to top it all off Matt will have to pay Britt's attorney fees which have now been over $ll,000 that Britt has paid.
I'll let you know. In the meantime, the kids will be going back to their dad this afternoon. I always hate to see them leave.
I hope all is well with you, my friends.
xoxo

I am so sorry. This whole thing is heartbreaking, and made even sadder because kids are involved.
Oh ny gosh! He's such an ass, pardon my French! You have to wonder what makes people turn so mean and nasty! Is it too late for Britt to get an police officer and go back again? I'm so sorry for her and all of you having so much to deal with right now! XO
ooooooh sally, what a mess. she needs to have a police officer present, to "keep the peace"!! by the time she gets to court he will likely remove items from the home that he does not want her to have!!
