173. to suggest 2400/mo is all that. insurance and taxes, utilities and mainteniance of a huge house

Sun Mar 15, 2015, 11:22 AM

Mar 2015

well exceeds 2400 a month. that does not include the activities and lifestyle of these five kids that they have been living up to this point. not to mention providing food and clothes for the kids. and fuggin' the other living expense for the kids at this age.

when a woman, that has raised the children, in divorce, is left with the house to maintain, her hands are tied. she is cash poor, living in poverty, in a huge ass house without any control.

if this woman was to go out and get a house or apartment to accommodate her 5 kids and herself, she would have already used up that 2400.

as far as the bigamy, from what we read on a previous thread, it was early 90's that she found her divorce had not gone thru like she had thought or been told it had. probably, but not knowing as none of us know for sure, grayson was well aware of the blip in the divorce process and it was taken care of. two decades prior to the divorce.
