While she is a gold digger she does have a pretty good con going on. If she was really smart she would get Phil to put her name on a lot of stuff do when the divorce arc happens she can rape him in court for it.
Kat is a boring loser, also she has a part-time job and isn't expected to help Phil out with anything so she probably buys herself stuff quite often.
I know that WA is a community property state, but he "purchased" the home prior to their getting married. I'm not entirely sure how the division of assets would work should they get divorced (I guess it should be "When they get divorced"). Aside from things acquired during the marriage, I don't know what claim she would have to the snort fort itself. I would assume that the best she could hope for is to rake his ass over the coals in spousal support/alimony since she would not be able to "maintain the lifestyle she was able to enjoy" and he'd just get extra pissy because that would mean less money for sweaty pngs.
dsp getting the $1400 is more proof that he writes off his hogan addiction on his taxes. His AGI would be too high for the full $1400 if he didn't write them off.
If he and Kat filed jointly, their combined income would have been enough to get the money. The amount of tax he owes is way too high for him to be writing that off.
Phil has insulated himself pretty well from any claims she might have to the Wakhando: Like you pointed out, he bought it well before they even met and has not comingled assets or relied on her to pay the mortgage since she moved in. Unless she has paid for something we're not seeing, like major repairs or mortgage payments beyond the monthly installment, she has no claim to the property. This also applies to the Toyota.
i bet phil would just fold if put under pressure. when panda left, he basically said nothing about it.
Do they, not know how to whisk eggs in Michigan? Or is that just a little bit too exotic and complex for her...
lol. these fucking stories.
Because the cake and frosting came from a box while this story comes from Phil's imagination. This year's birthday cake looked just like all the others and we know those were Betty Crocker or Mrs. Fields mixes. The True and Honest version of this story is that Phil probably "made" himself a cake by adding eggs + milk to a mix and making frosting out of peanut butter + Cool Whip + granulated sugar while Kat grudgingly helped or sat in her room playing Skyrim.
It makes me wonder how much fraud he is committing. He lied a shit ton on the bankruptcy forms but beyond that he is definitely either intentionally or unintentionally committing fraud.
Yet more proof either A) Khet can't cook for shit and they order food every day or B) Phil has to make these lies up and doesn't know anything about cooking so says whatever comes to mind.
Phil likes to bitch about people long after they're out of his life but have done something to publicly "wrong" him. Leanna by comparison left without a peep, he had nothing to cling on to besides the usual relationship bs.
I would be quite impressed if the reason Kat held a job this whole time was to save up for divorcing Phil and going after all his shit. I mean it wouldn't work, and would be stupid, but still a logical explanation for why she works at all.
He IS really sensitive about that shit, and he even goes so far as to speak of how it's an attempt at painting him as a liar. Quite the slip, if you ask me, because most of the time he seems almost deliberately leaving his awareness up to the imagination. Meaning, he usually doesn't show his hand in that regard, he could be oblivious or he could not be.
There is a way to reconcile the amount Phil owes with him writing off WWE Champions on his taxes: We all overlooked that Phil was not paying payroll tax either. Math is in the spoiler but the short version is that self employment + the progressive income tax rate + flat payroll tax rate would mean the payroll tax could nearly double his debt to the IRS. Here are my sources for income and payroll tax rates. Note that the payroll tax rates quoted in that link all need to be doubled - normally the employee and employer each pay half (the employer contribution is not captured in paystubs or tax forms) but since Phil is self employed, he is both of those and there is no way for him to pay a reduced rate.
Just more proof she doesn't live there. Probably hasn't been in that kitchen for years and just dragged herself over to make him that cake as an obligation to the contract.
