Last fall my stepson got divorced, after about year of marriage. Dated for years, but never lived together until The Big Day (huge mistake, IMO). Things unraveled rapidly from there. He moved out, things proceeded, The pregnant dog got the house and managed to miss a payment before he got his name disentangled from the loan so he's got a nice mark on his credit to boot. And no reach-around.

Back when they were in the midst of getting ready to buy the house, I gave them $4000 to help with the down payment. I had to sign a paper with the loaning bank to the effect that it was a gift, and not a loan that was meant to be paid back.

Since it's winter, I'm bored, and I can be a vindictive asshole when provoked and wouldn't mind $4K in my pocket to do a little remodeling in my own house before spring, I'm wondering if there's any way I could slap a lien on the place or some such. Or if I'm well and truly boned since I signed the gift statement.

Comments and opinions appreciated.

You are boned... ;)

Pretty much what I figured. But it never hurts to ask.  ;)

Dang.

All my fevered hopes and dreams of revenge on the kid's part are vanquished like all the rest...

Doesn't mean that you can't get some kind of revenge, just means that you can't go the $4000 gift-turns-into-loan route.  There is more than one way to skin a cat.   [evil]

I like Grappa's way of thinking.  ..."revenge is a dish that is best served cold."  Khan, Wrath of Khan ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

But what kind of revenge.....

It would have been soooo fun to tag the place with a lien, even though I'd be willing to bet The pregnant dog loses the place anyway.

I don't want to physically hurt anyone, nor cause property damage, since I don't need to get myself in a bind (plus karma's a mean ass pregnant dog).

I'm thinking some sort of massive embarrassment/humiliation or similar.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Wait for her to default on the house... then buy it from the bank for cheap and give it to your son as a "The pregnant dog is gone" present

I doubt he'd even want the place, since her family lives a block away.  :P

Plus, as luck would have it, his job moved 20 miles so he's living within walking distance of work now, versus a shitty commute.

Oh I'm sure after several cold adult beverages this inspired group of mischievous hooligans can come up with several non violent, semi legal, embarrassing revenge plots. Be patient grasshopper. Shhh, listen ...gears are turning! [thumbsup] [popcorn] [bacon]

Not that I would ever do something like this, but a "friend" may have told me a story once...  ;)

Long ex-girlfriend story, but the gist was after "they" broke up, she ended up getting a new car.

Apparently, a couple of quarts of 20w-50 motor oil mysteriously found it's way into the gas tank of her brand new vehicle.

So, allegedly, the car started smoking badly whenever she would drive it.  So she took it back to the dealer. 

So, as the story goes, the dealer took the engine apart to check the valve seals/guides/whatever.  They found nothing wrong, put back together.  Still smoking, so dealer took it apart to look for something else. Nothing wrong again. 

Story ends with car eventually stopped smoking after a couple of tanks of gas, and she was very frustrated, confused, and very inconvenienced.   [evil]

Not that I would ever recommend something like this...   8)

Just say'n...

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

A water fire extinquisher being used to put a bit of water into the tires of a car combined with a below freezing evening makes for an interesting problem

YA KNOW....from a "having been through a divorce" POV, and having lost my HOME ( to distinguish it past being just a house) because of her and handed over to her in property settlement my 01 Monster 900 ( my 1st Ducati that I loved and bonded with) ...it is best to be done with her and cut the ties completely and move on...no sense in dwindling on it for him or on his behalf unless he has asked you for some help in expressing his pain in return back to her....

Finally...

some good advice.
