I received an inheritance and in deciding what to do with it, I decided to give my ex wife Betty $30,000. I know this may sound unusual but we had a friendly divorce and she worked and paid my way through college when we were married. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I sent her an email telling her what I planned to do. She emailed me back that her current husband would not let her take the money because it made him look bad. I thought that is kind of strange but it is her decision so I just forgot about it and used the $30,000 for something else.

A YEAR later I got an email from Betty that she was getting a divorce and she could take that $30,000 now. I told her I was sorry but I had already spent it and it was no longer available. She told me she understood and that she had made a big mistake turning it down in the first place.

Then I got a letter in the mail from Betty’s soon to be ex husband wanting his share of the $30,000. If this wasn’t so outrageous it would have been funny. I just threw the letter in the trash and did not respond to it. I did not tell Betty about his letter. I did not want to cause her any more problems.

Please tell me if you think I did the right thing in this matter?

I would be like excuse? Dumb a$$.. as I recall I wasn't marry to you and go fu℃k yourself you worthless piece of sh*t face.. and tell your ex wife what happened and why does he think he deserves half that money??? Like is he that pathetic.. and not only that dude she shouldn't have asked for that money she said no and after so long now she thinks she can have that money? Are you kidding me she said no.. ugh people nowadays -_-.. pathetic!

They turned down a gift. You have no reason to re-offer that gift. They have no legal rights to your money.

She is a crazy ungrateful woman and her hubby is disgusting for contacting u...wow.

You acted correctly.
