I just got home from work and my stbx was here in the house. I knew he would be here...but he left some money for me and the Christmas presents.....So is this a payoff???
There was $1000 on the table in cash. Gee it's from our savings....an account that I can't acess. I am confused!

Don't you have a protective order or restraining order in place? Excuse my 'bah humbug' attitude but the man has no business in your home if that is the case.

Don't be manipulated by fear OR funds....... there is more at stake than Christmas presents....... it's Christmas futures.

Call your lawyer...tell him that HE was in the house and you do not want him to enter the home.

Get a restraining order... so he can not enter the home again.

Take the money, don't acknowledge it. You choose whether to tell the lawyer about the money or not.

Guilt money. Use it.

I agree with rose..it's cash, can't be traced to you!

Check with your attorney before spending the money. Make SURE that you won't have to pay it back to him in the settlement.

STBX deducted from mine :-/ I was a bit miffed.

That account should be frozen so he cannot take it. However if he leaves you cash take it. He cannot trace that and it is his own mistake. I agree with 31yrs. he should not be in your house if you don't want him there.
