I know some of you know the back story on this but...my SO is legally separated from BM, has been trying to divorce her for 2 years etc she's dragged the whole thing out. Anyway, in the agreement for legal separation, my SO was expected to pay the mortgage on the house where BM lives (it's in his name) plus a good amount in temporary alimony. BM was to pay all utility bills and her own bills whatever she has. My SO made the mistake of continuing to pay the bills because she never changed them over to her name. I told him countless times...that's gonna bite you in the ass, you need to stop paying NOW. He never should have done that. Well then the concern was...what if they force me to pay them now anyway because I've been doing it over a year at this point. I said yup this is what I've been trying to tell you. So a few months ago after the 4 billionth time of asking her to switch the bills, she still had not done it. So my SO closed the accounts, paid what was left in his name and sent her the difference. He's not supposed to do that but he figured...she's been asked many, many, many times and has not done it so now it's time to cut her off. Well BM told her lawyer and next thing you know he's getting held in contempt of court for non-payment of alimony even though he has paid all of the bills. They went to court last week and BM's lawyer brought this up and said your honor we are asking that SO pay an additional $250/mo on top of the alimony she is getting right now AND continue to pay the utility bills. The judge asked why SO hadn't paid the alimony and he explained the story and said there is plenty of documentation to prove she did not keep her end of the bargain if anything SHE should be charged with contempt for refusal to abide by the law in this case. The judge said so BM you didn't switch the bills over to your name which was what was understood you would do in the agreement and that being the case, is it fair to assume that if he pays you the alimony from that month you will pay ALL of the back payment for money you owe him over the last year in utility bill payments? Her lawyer said no your honor that would not be fair to expect at this point and we will drop the contempt charge!

Hahahahahahaha! }:) Stupid bitch! Finally a win for SO!! It may be small but it's still a win! BM has asked for the moon, she plans on taking everything of his and she will not stop until that's what she gets. However...loving that the judge put her in her place!!!
