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.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
