My Ex Wife Is Plotting Againt Me.

Rate this question


SSG Ramos

Question

Today I got information that my ex wife has gone insane on me. She has been trying to destroy everything on her path. She has managed to create controversy between my family and friends. She even opened a joint bank account after we were divorced. She has been contacting all my relatives trying to dusrupt my relationship's. She is even receiving social security for her child and has me as the supporter of the family and we are no longer married.

When we divorced she kept everything and i kept all the debts. Which I am still paying. But still, she wants more.

All of this was told to me by a friend. A friend that I once lost because of her.

We have been divorced for more than two years now and all of this came by surprise.

But this is not all. To make this even sweeter she is trying to get money from my VA compensation and social security.

Should I be worried about my benefits and her intentions?

We were married from 2009 to 2011 and we no kids.

I need help here.Can she do anything regarding my benefits?

If you are divorced and you did not have children. She will not get your VA compensation money. She can ask for an apportionment, but it will be denied simply because you are divorced and she is not your dependent. Which means if you are service connected for 30% or greated you are eligible for dependent benefits. If you are divorced make sure you are NO longer gettig paid for her, or you will owe VA and they will recoup that money.

As for SS. She has to have been married to you for 10 years before she would be eligible to entitlement of your Social Security as a dependent benefit.

I don't think you have anything to worry about as far as comp or SS goes.

However, I do think you need to file a letter with the credit companies telling them you are divorced and she is being fraudulent in her business ehtics and you might want to subscribe to one of those companies that watches out for people using or trying to use your personal information, And last but not least file a police report against her. SO you have a record of the complaint to protect your credit and to protect you from any creditors trying to collect from you due to her illegal activity.- jmo

I take a different view. There is always the possibility that your "friend" either did not know the whole scoop, or that the friend was not being honest about your ex.

Most likely, if this was happening, you would have also heard similar things through other friends and family.

I do not recommend filing a police report on your ex based on what a friend told you alone.

Most importantly, if there are children involved (or even if there are not) you need to consider forgiveness. Perpetuating toxic forgiveness is unlikely to give you a good result, long term.

Does she deserve forgiveness? Maybe so or maybe not. Either way, you deserve the healing that forgiveness brings, dont you??

I forgave my ex wife, and it is the best thing I have ever done. I could not experience healing and hate at the same time, so one had to go. I chose forgiveness even tho every fiber of my being said no, as the hatred was deep, long, and wide, affecting both my children and my parents.

I have never met anyone who was sorry they forgave someone. But I have known some who was sorry they did not. Its about your healing, not hers. It does not matter if she reciprocates the forgiveness..your part is done. Dont expect anything from her and you wont be disappointed.

Thanks for the advice I will indeed file a letter to the credit companies and will subscribe to a watch list. I just want her out of my life!! Why cant she just carry on and be happy? Its been more than two years.

Maybe to talk to a lawyer who has done military divorces. They know all the ins and outs of this.

I would like to avoid any more legal adventures with her. Hopefully we won’t have to go to that battlefield again. She took everything and when I say everything I mean it. But she wants more. We didn't even had kids. So much ambition for a person that didn't educate herself and doesn't work can be dangerous.

We didn’t had any kids and don’t misunderstand me. I feel nor love or hate toward her. I do feel sorry for her but the fact that she is trying to do harm against me again is unacceptable. I took control of my life again. I have a great women by my side, I bought my home, I’m retired and I even became a father now.

Trust me when I tell you that I honestly wish the best for her because that would even give me more peace knowing that she wont be doing the things she is doing now. But anyways. I called BBVA Compass and indeed she open a joint account and in that account is where she is receiving the social security for her son.

She has been asking around where I live and my address. This is just getting out of control. If she does appear at my house it won’t have a happy ending.

I have a new born baby..... you get the point.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
