What is the reason for the divorce? To kick him out of the condo even though he paid for it? What kind of woman treats her husband this way? Accept his largess in good times but kick him out when he is down? I can't believe TS is thinking of helping this evil woman who is out to destroy her husband when he has been so good to her by he putting a property he paid for in her name.

Don't do it TS and advise your wife not to do it. Karma will come knocking.

.
That's quite greedy of you.

i read the whole story, and ahha, i know know whats TS's FIL is thinking.

TS FIL actually wants a son, thats why he marry twice and gets a mistress, but no luck, all girls. rays of hope come through when his first wife last daughter is pregnant (its possible a lie that its a boy, to get 300k from TS FIL).

TS FIL must be thinking, no son nvm, at least got grandson!!!

TS might as well advice TS FIL to do DNA test on his first wife youngest daughter. if not his child, 300k gone with the wind...[B]

mistake, i will edit

sorry i m not here to give advice.
but i want to comment that fil have to wake up, he got a rotten charsiew daughter.
better fil take the baby adopt as own son, than give 300k and dig more money later. can ask for one successful time, more times will come.

will your wife will do the same to you,like her mother will do to her father after all this? they make you as a guarantor after all..the FIL can issue bankruptcy, and provide the proof of payment of that house, you might be in for fraud if insolvency accept the case, its one of AMLA acts.

Who is the legal wife here?

1st wife? If so, why give a damn... just walk away.

his FIL=father in law
can file a bankruptcy to himself
when a person being in bankruptcy , all the properties in his name and his spouse name will be investigate .
if he can provide proof of payment of the house he bought earlier even it under his spouse name.

Anyway a quick update to this.

After discussing their options with a lawyer.

MIL decided to do the following :-

i) Transfer the condo to both her daughters and will remove her name off the title.
ii) She will move out from that condo.
iii) She will get the 2 daughters to take care of her finances using rental from that condo.
iv) She will initiate divorce proceedings upon settling into a new rented house.

You sure do feel strongly for him

The whole problem was caused by the FIL's daughter from 1st wife wanting to sell a surname for RM300,000 when he has no money and no spare property.

Cheating FIL and moving him out of the condo by deceit will create a lot of problems when he cannot get the money he expects. To think he will not to make a fuss is unrealistic. There will probably be war and unintended consequences.

To avoid bigger problems later tell FIL in no uncertain terms that mortgaging the condo to raise money for his 1st wife's daughter is NO-NO. No need to hide. Tell him they know what he wants the money for.

He will make a fuss but that's about it. The condo is in MIL's name so nothing much he can do. But giving him high hopes and then dashing it may have serious consequences.

And tell that daughter to take her offer and shaft it up her's!

Don't expect a good outcome from this.

1) Disappointed FIL will become psychologically and physically abusive in rented house so MIL moves out.
2) FIL is unable to pay rent so is evicted by landlord and homeless. 1st wife will not take him in.
3) FIL gets locksmith to open condo and moves back in. No choice or he will have to live on the streets. If there is a tenant FIL will set him running.
4) FIL harrass daughters who are the new condo owners to sell condo and give him half as his share.
5) MIL is unable to get upkeep from condo rental so daughters face financial strain.
6) Finally to resolve the impasse condo is sold and FIL gets half.

So in the end the result will still be the same after a lot of pain to all parties. What MIL should do is to tell FIL "NO" to mortgaging the condo for finance. Situation remains as it is. If FIL cannot accept sell the condo and give him 50%. Deception isn't the way.
