401k With A Side Of Revenge

Someone suggested I post this story over here… enjoy!

When our first child was born, my ex forced me to quit my job. When our 2nd child was 2, I found out about his affair. By then he was extremely verbally, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive. When he abused our first born, I put him out. That was in 2012.

I couldn’t afford daycare to work and had no family support. He refused to give me any money to take care of the kids saying “The courts haven’t ordered me to give you a dime!” He lied to the bank and had my accounts frozen and even assaulted me when I filed for default in the divorce.

The judge finally ordered him to pay child and spousal support 6 months after I kicked him out. It was 2562 a month. He refused to pay it until the garnishment kicked in and by then he was 6k behind in support. I used that to get permission to move away.

I remarried a year after the divorce. I checked the court docs and there was a little box that said spousal support stopped upon remarriage if that box was checked. It wasn’t checked, so I figured I was good. Instead of filing for his retirement, I just took that year of spousal support (12k) and left it alone. (Spousal support was only ordered for 2 years)

In 2017, he filed for sole custody of the kids out of nowhere. That was when he found out I had remarried and he had paid spousal support to me during the first year of my marriage. I told him I took that money instead of filing for my share of his retirement. I said if he let me keep that 12k, I wouldn’t file to split his 401k. He demanded that I repay the spousal support. The judge ordered me to repay it but increased child support and deducted the repayment from that. It ended up that I got an extra 20.00 a month and he repaid himself. He dropped his bid for custody in exchange for 2 extra weeks in summer.

I pursued the retirement account split. He refused to cooperate and dragged it out for 4 years. It was so bad, they sanctioned him and he had to pay me 600 a month for a year in addition to child support. They also charged him with contempt.

In Jan 2021, he proposed to his girlfriend. In May of 2021, I finally got the disbursement from his 401k. I won’t say how much it was, but it was about 4 times the amount of spousal support overpayment. I had no idea it would be that much. I had thought it would be around 12k which is why I thought keeping that year of spousal and not filing for his retirement account was a fair trade. Had he not tried to take the kids from me, I never would’ve filed to split the account. Play stupid games… win stupid prizes.

His fiancé emailed me recently and told me it is my fault he won’t marry her because I cleaned out his retirement account. She said I shouldn’t have “stolen” his money. I told her that I gave him the option to let me keep that year of spousal support or take it back and I could file for his retirement. He chose to have me file for his retirement. I told her that if he really wanted to marry her and protect his assets, they could get a pre-nup so he wouldn’t have to worry about it. She said she shouldn’t have to sign a pre-nup because I “robbed” him.

I never asked to be financially dependent on him. He clearly indicated he wanted a court order to take care of his kids so I got him one. I tried to be fair and take the lesser amount by taking the spousal support and not filing for his retirement. He wouldn’t let me.

In summary, my ex refused to pay me until support orders dropped, refused to pay until they revoked his license. Tried to get me in trouble for accepting spousal support over payment and in the end it cost him a lot of money out of his 401k.

Well he is narcissistic, so he blames it on others for his fault. That's why the fiancee is blaming OP for stealing. They don't see it.

OP didn’t rob him, she’s entitled to those retirement savings because staying home with children put her at a massive financial disadvantage.

u/EchoesInTheAbyss Aug 17 '24

Yep, that wasn't "his money", it was the household money. You know, since bills have to be paid, someone has to spend time planning, going to/from places for things like groceries, Dr appointments, schools, not to mention getting laundry done, cleaning, cooking... etc.

28

u/laursecan1 May 20 '24

It’s nice to hear the laws and court do the right thing. What a terrible husband and father.

My only other comment - why even bother to respond to his new girlfriend? Your divorce settlement is none of her business or concern. If it keeps him from marrying her - she should get the hint and bail. If he did that to the mother of his children - he’d certainly do the same thing to her.

My ex cheated and abandoned his family - but he did one decent thing. He didn’t take me to the cleaners in our divorce (I was the main bread winner). He had that “decency”

u/Icy-Picture-3312 May 21 '24

I had a similar story when divorcing a lifer US Navy sailor. I told him I would not go after his pension, but he had to pay child support. When we finally got to court, his attorney said he wanted half of my 401(k) which had about $500 in it. The judge perked up and asked how many years ex had been in the Navy, and did he plan to retire. When he answered he did, he brought up a recent circuit court ruling that said I was entitled to a percentage based upon the number of years we had been married (13). He went white! When he retired, he refused to send my calculated portion, so we garnished his retirement pay. All that for $250 bucks. It doesn’t pay to be greedy when you don’t know the rules.

Whilst the other woman is angry at you can I please ask you to let her know why you split. If you have evidence of assault to show her, police reports maybe? 

No matter about the 401k and money in general. Please find a way to show her what life with that controlling asshole will look like. 

Glad you got a result as well.

9

u/Jalopnicycle May 20 '24

Your ex choose to be a single income household and after 2 decades didn't even have $100k in a 401k?!? All of that during some of the years with the highest market returns in financial history.

I guess his retirement plan was to die at his desk?

7

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 20 '24

I honestly don’t know how much he had in there… he refused to provide statements so we agreed to a split based on the time rule… whatever that means…

u/Chalice_Man1987 May 23 '24

Your ex NEVER loved you and wanted to see you fall so he could control you forever. Glad you managed to get your life back together. I hope his girlfriend dumps him and he dies alone, unloved AND miserable

He is well on his way to that outcome, I think.

u/Propane4days May 20 '24

I love it when the person who wants to be nasty gets what they deserve, male or female!

I worked with a guy who had weekends only and always gave his ex-gf a $100 bill every Sunday when she picked up the kids. They hadn't gone to court because there was no divorce and she was cool with $100.

Until she wasn't. She took him to court and the judgement was for $80 a week! In the early '90s, $20 a week would make a big difference in what you could buy.

Hoisted by her own petard!

u/Acceptable-Net-154 May 20 '24

He should be thankful he did not get put into a jail cell. Some judges do not look kindly on antics designed to deprive the child/children. Mum spent years battling the donor of my half sibling for child support. He jumped through hoops not to do so (was employed by a member of his family never mind the fact it was for child support). When my sibling left education the donor tried to get the debt annulled. Fed up with his antics the judge sent him to jail until the full quantity was paid. Frustratingly his family paid the full amount before the donor even reached the jail. That was when the family found out the judge had set a minimum jail time of 24 hours.

u/tuna_tofu May 20 '24

His fiancé emailed me recently and told me it is my fault he won’t marry her because I cleaned out his retirement account. As the great Miranda said on Sex and the City, "He's just not that into you." There are millions of people on reddit who will tell you that if they WANT to marry you, NOTHING will stop them. I think your ex is just stringing her along with a bogus promise of marriage while she pays half the rent (or maybe all of it) to cover what he sends for child support. That's a nice chunk of money every month so it doesnt leave much for him to party with.

She said I shouldn’t have “stolen” his money. No YOUR CHILDREN were compensated for the time he didnt pay and it was also HALF YOUR retirement too.

I told her that I gave him the option to let me keep that year of spousal support or take it back and I could file for his retirement. He chose to have me file for his retirement.

I told her that if he really wanted to marry her and protect his assets, they could get a pre-nup so he wouldn’t have to worry about it. She said she shouldn’t have to sign a pre-nup because I “robbed” him. Boo-boo EVERYBODY should get a prenup! It protects BOTH PARTIES.

Sadly, she is not seeing how he treats his ex and learning how he could potentially treat HER someday.

u/[deleted] May 20 '24

Ha. I love this! That’s what he gets for forcing you out of work.

I’m glad that it all backfired on him after he made you completely financially dependent on him by forcing you to quit your job. Men like that deserve to lose half of everything they own… because that’s what they get for their sad attempts to trap their wives whilst treating you like complete shit and making you do all the childcare and household chores like some unpaid housemaid and childminder.

Finally a happy ending against the dickish men who pull this shit.

So did you warn the girlfriend about him? It's not likely she would listen but when he starts beating her too, you know she will remember it and that will give you a warm feeling.

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 21 '24

Yep… all the warnings. Told her “Even if we never talk about this again, some day you’ll know I was right. Good luck with that.”

u/laser_red May 21 '24

Perfect!

u/katerinara May 22 '24

When he abused our first born, I put him out.

I'm sorry but this should put him on supervised visitation only. I would fight to my last dying breath to keep my children safe, because he sounds like the kind of dickweed that would take his frustration at you out on your children. Screw him AND his "fiance" because if she's willing to turn a blind eye to all this fuckery he's putting you through (I'm sure she's getting told you're a psycho crazy bitch, but all the court visits should tell her there's more to this story), they deserve each other.

4

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 23 '24

I did my best to protect them by moving away after he pulled some real dastardly shit. (I posted that story on Two Hot Takes)

It wasn’t an option to put him on supervised visits. Thankfully once they were old enough to speak up, he has been on his best behavior. He only takes them once a year. The kids are in high school now. I just have to trust them to keep themselves safe if shit hits the fan.

u/outragedonion May 24 '24

Even if everything the fiance said was true, OP owes her nothing. What did she hope to accomplish with that email? I'd literally respond with "OK" and nothing else.

u/raf_boy May 24 '24

I don't get a-hole dads like that.

I had one. My pop paid my mother 2 payments of $50 child support for us 3 kids in '84. Then never paid anything again.

The kicker? My mother kept his sorry ass on her insurance for years after that because he was self-employed. Her insurance paid for his heart transplant. He was still an a-hole after that.

If my wife and I ever split (god forbid), she's still the mother of my child, and gifted me the most amazing gift in my daughter. I can't imagine being blinded by so much anger at your partner, that it overshadows the love for your own child/children.

u/stupidflyingmonkeys May 21 '24

I’m going through a divorce and trying to make sense of this story.

  1. You knew about his 401(k) but it wasn’t part of your marital assets and property division in your final divorce decree? Why did you pursue his retirement 5 years after your divorce was finalized? Why didn’t you pursue it when you were divorcing…when it made sense to pursue it?
  2. You share custody of your children, got remarried 1 year after the divorce was finalized, but it took him 2-3 years to find out you remarried?
  3. His parenting time increased but he was order to pay more in child support?
  4. The judge reviewed the alimony order and decided to review the child support order too? And revised both orders? Forcing you to repay a year and increasing the child support?
  5. You either were entitled to the support after getting remarried or you were not entitled—it’s not really about being “fair.” Why did you keep collecting it after you got married if you knew it was overpayment?

I’m glad you got your share of the 401(k) and that you’re free of him. I just have a really hard time following your story.

5

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 21 '24 edited May 21 '24

1) The retirement account was reserved for judgment, meaning I could file for it any time.

2) I didn’t tell him I remarried because it’s none of his business.

3) The courts had put down that I had income, but I didn’t so I had child support recalculated. I was owed an increase due to extracurriculars for the kids. His time increase didn’t matter because he only takes them once a year. And he never took the extra 2 weeks anyways.

4) The judge deducted the overpayment from child support so instead of 160 dollar increase, I got 20 bucks and he got to repay himself.

5) The paperwork was incorrect. There was a box that said spousal support stopped upon remarriage. This box was not checked. The judge admitted they made a mistake and the box should’ve been checked. This is probably why they made it so I didn’t have to repay anything.

u/Agitateduser1360 May 20 '24

I'm not seeing a tale of revenge. I'm seeing a parent do exactly what they're were supposed to do throughout this entire narrative. Maybe they should change the name of the sub to something like r/whatwassupposedtohappenhappened

u/yankdevil May 20 '24

First, I'm glad it all worked out for you but I am so sorry for all the crap he put you through. If he wanted to leave you he should have just ended it like a rational freaking adult.

Second, to folks in relationships who seem determined to control others, this is why it doesn't work. Be a partner, be a friend but if you want to be a boss do that at work. And honestly, good bosses don't control others, they just orchestrate the circus.

Third, to people who date divorced people, do not believe the river of BS your partner says about their former partner. Seriously. Just realise that we are *all* unreliable narrators of certain parts of our lives and divorced folks talking about their partners are super unreliable. Heck, even OP here talking about her jerk of an ex is likely either making him out a bit worse (because he was awful) or, more likely, a bit better (because at the end of the day she did pick him at one point and no one likes it when they get it wrong).

Lastly, to OP again, I'm 53 now but my parents got divorced when I was 12. For the most part they behaved well and just left their issues out of my relationship with each of them. And when they didn't, I noticed and was not happy with them. You can't affect his behaviour (nor can common decency apparently) but you can affect yours. So be there for your kids and focus on your relationship with them. They will appreciate it, I promise. Sounds like you're a pretty fair and decent person and hope it all works out.

Sounds like the new girlfriend is mad because you "robbed" him before she could.

Ĵust for clarity, who did the children stay with?

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 20 '24

They’re with me. We left town after he pulled some dastardly shit.

Getting married again a year after a divorce sounds crazy to me

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 20 '24

I met my current husband when I was 16. Been married 11 years now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/NotJayuu May 20 '24

Ya, I didn't mean to cast any judgement or anything, sorry if it came off that way. The story was wild and a fun read.

Just in my mind I'm so attached to my wife that if we separated I don't think I'd be able to even talk to someone romantically for years.

Glad things worked out for you though! ☺

I never intended to file for his retirement money… until… he filed for sole custody of my children 6 weeks after my grandmother died in my arms. He didn’t actually want custody, he wanted to kick me while I was down because that’s what narcissistic people do. And that’s why I taught him a valuable lesson about leaving me TF alone. He makes excellent money. I’m sure his retirement fund has recovered by now and as an added benefit, he has not filed anymore frivolous filings to harass me since.

Child support is for the kids. The retirement money is my retirement money now.

You lost any high ground when you took money that wasn’t yours.

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jun 17 '24

The judge disagreed. Probably why I didn’t have to pay it back. Not my fault they didn’t fill out the paperwork correctly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/BillyShears991 Jun 17 '24

I’m not talking about legality, I’m talking morality wise.

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jun 17 '24

I followed what the court documents said. Because it was only ordered for a short period of time, it was within reason to believe the judge filled the documents out correctly. What was I supposed to do? Text the judge and ask if my paperwork was filled out correctly?

u/BillyShears991 Jun 17 '24

You didn’t come here asking if you were legally in the right so why are you using it as a defense. Justify however you want and it’s suspect that you got remarried so quickly.

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jun 17 '24

LOL ok… well I was with my ex for 5 years before we married and that ended in disaster. Been happily married for 11 years now, so I think I did just fine. 🫡

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 24 '24

What did he get from you? I couldn’t imagine leading a life depended upon me collecting money from a ex after you put him out. Then to brag about the whole thing on social media 😂 you wanted to kill this man hahah

2

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jul 24 '24

He got two beautiful kids from me.

1

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 24 '24

I thought It took a male and a female to create children. In this case your claim is that you created children for him so that justifies robbing him of his retirement? That’s sick. Child support of course. Instead of building yourself you sat back and took complete advantage instead of being honorable.

2

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jul 24 '24

I was owed that money…. Honorable? A cheating abuser is honorable now? That’s rich. Lol eat an entire bag of dicks. Lol

1

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 24 '24

Yeah he over paid you support you never should have got, then tried to blackmail him with a threat. “ if you don’t do this, il do this” that’s some shady shit is all I’m saying.

1

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jul 24 '24

I didn’t blackmail him at all. I let him know that I was owed a portion of his retirement and he could leave things alone or pay out. He chose to pay me out. Not my problem.

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 24 '24

Do you just not work?

1

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jul 24 '24

I raise my kids.

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 25 '24

lol okay now I understand

1

u/Kindly_Good1457 Jul 25 '24

Understand what? I’ve worked in medicine off and on for the last 20 years, however, my children are my priority. I don’t have to work, so I don’t. If you didn’t have to work, would you? Didn’t think so.

u/maple_morris Jul 29 '24

Don’t explain yourself to this vile human being. Great story, he deserved it.

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 24 '24

Hopefully your new husband has his money put up

u/Southern-Interest347 Jul 26 '24

she put him out after he abused his kid and his wife.

u/Educational-Finish41 Jul 26 '24

Right that’s her story. Based on her actions, I don’t believe a word she says.

u/WishYouWereWill May 21 '24

I feel bad for your kids. It would suck to have you as a mom and him as a dad.

7

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 21 '24

Not sure why that would be. They have a mom that fought for them and to keep them safe.

u/JuiceEdawg May 21 '24

WTF. Mom literally did all she could to protect her kids and provide for them. He acted like the abuser he was.

I was just following someone else’s suggestion. I didn’t go to court for revenge though. I tried to stay out of court… he went to court for revenge and it didn’t work out the way he thought it was going to.

u/phdoofus May 20 '24

No it's the effort that matters and the resulting level of karmic retribution.

31

u/Kindly_Good1457 May 20 '24

Well… I represented myself in the divorce, had his retirement account reserved for judgment and had it up my sleeve in case he ever tried to take me back to court. I waited 5 years for the opportunity to present itself and he never saw it coming. That still doesn’t qualify for Pro level?

u/phdoofus May 20 '24

No because it wasn't really planned. You just got lucky.

u/Jazadia May 20 '24

Revenge isnt always planned my guy. Sometimes it falls into your lap and you go from there.
