#Help #LegalAdviceNeeded #Blackmail #AbortionComplications
Hey everyone, I need some advice on a tough situation involving my 22-year-old son’s ex-girlfriend. Here’s the scoop:
– Son has been paying thousands of dollars to his ex for alleged medical bills from complications of an abortion
– Ex is now blackmailing him, threatening to sue, get him fired, and even charge him for underage sex
– Looking for clarification on whether he is legally obligated to pay for these bills, especially since she hasn’t shown proof
– He’s concerned for his safety and we’re worried about him being taken advantage of
Possible solutions that I’m considering:
– Stop paying her and block her if possible
– Consider contacting her mother to address the situation
– Seek legal advice to understand his rights in this matter
Have any of you been in a similar situation or have advice to share? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🙏💬 #support #familyfirst
He wasn’t (and still isn’t) legally obligated to pay for any of that.
> I am looking for clarification that he is not legally obligated to pay for all of these medical bills,
He’s not.
> She hasn’t even shown him medical bills in many cases
I suspect there aren’t any, or not to the amounts she’s claiming.
Their relationship may have started four years ago, but did she turn 18 more than three years ago? It sounds close.
That issue aside, your son is not obligated to pay any of her bills. Demanding money with the threat of reporting a crime would generally be considered extortion. In theory, your son could seek to have charges pressed against her. Of course, this could expose him to legal trouble if she was still under 18 within the statute of limitations and would publicize the cause of the extortion in either case.
Alternatively, he could notify her that he will no longer be submitting to her demands and point out the legal troubles she might cause herself if she follows through with her threats. He should not demand his money back for not pressing charges, as that itself could constitute extortion.
If there’s text messages and bank transfers you should be going to the police and hiring an attorney to sue and file charges over criminal extortion. No he said/she said. Hard evidence. Someone who specializes in libel should be the direction you go in terms of lawyers. Good luck to you and your son.
I would go straight to the police, she is extorting your son.
This is a common scam. She was never pregnant and is just fleecing you because of the potential shame and fear of legal trouble. The stat rape might be a problem depending how Wisconsin handles it. Was she even an actual girlfriend or just a person your son saw every now and then? There might be other people she is doing this to at the same time to increase profits.
The other stuff is fairly easy: you have no obligation, none at all, to pay or continue to pay another persons medical bills. She didn’t show you any bills so what are you even paying for?
You also have no obligation to explain or inform the other party of your thought process. Simply tell them to leave you alone and then cease contact with them. Anyone can sue anyone for anything, doesn’t mean the trial will go anywhere or even start to begin with.
If you can show evidence to back up what you said she will be in more legal trouble than you because of the extortion and possible fraud.
Lastly: be vigilant of the next scam phase and the recovery scam. Someone who will offer to make all of this go away for the low low price of what you haven’t given her yet.
I wonder if he has grounds for extortion charges to be laid
Is this not extortion ?? Go to the police or get a lawyer
Police, now.
So I’ve read about scams like this, except your son actually had a relationship with her. Tbh call her bluff, she isn’t going to do anything. Everyone in your family should block her and move on.
He is not: even IF she has bills, he is NOT liable for ANY of them.
In his case he has to make the move for a restraining order in this case. If she can not provide documents then he isn’t responsible to give her anything. This has to be done in a court setting
Report her to the police for blackmail & extortion
This is extortion! Call her and her mom and tell them you’ll go to the cops unless the harassment stops and money is paid back. Or hell, just go to the cops anyway.
Abortion is 600.00… why is he doing this? There was likely no abortion and no complications….
Her medical bills are her medical bills.
I think you should get documentation before he pays anything more. He should be able to certainly see these medical bills. I do think that they should be splitting the cost of the abortion since it does take two to tango, but he should certainly be able to see proof of these expenses.
Get a TPO! That’s a good first step. Are the “threats” being made via text? If so save all of them and don’t change the number. Judge will sign an order that includes electronic communication. So she will get hit with a TPO violation as well as exportation. And if she actually shows up at the hearing the Judge may ask for medical bills.
Condoms are far cheaper.
Tell her that YOUR SON will be taking legal attention now!!
Definitely get a lawyer.
While there could be complications with a pregnancy and a IUD. The IUD was probably the complications not the pregnancy and then abortion.
Get copies of any communication’s together.
Blackmail is illegal sooo
Ten bucks says her medical insurance is covering any “complications” bills, if there are any.
Sue her in civil court for return of funds. Might not get all of the $ back, but hopefully will get some restitution and a no contact order! He is not legally obligated to pay for any of her “medical” bills. Nor does he have any other financial obligations to her.
Take her to small claims for the extorted money and make her produce medical bills to back up her claims or she has to pay him back.
Or call the police.
Or both, but absolutely keep the element of surprise on your side.
I’d take my son to a lawyer asap so he can hear what his rights and obligations are.
Speak to an attorney. Ask them if you can file charges as well.
What does “supplementing her life” mean?
Don’t tell her anything. Call a lawyer first thing tomorrow morning and blow her out of the water.
She’s lying
Pls update when possible
