Fuck, the begments would be astounding if she were awarded such things. "My ex wife is taking my house from me, and so I really really need your help. Tips would go a long way if you like my kahntent and want me to continue doing it...."
Depends on who is paying for it. If it's paid for out of community assets, that's what matters. If they've been keeping separate bank accounts and Phil has only been paying the mortgage out of his own money, it still might be separate. There's probably not much equity in it considering most payments to date will probably have been just on interest, with most of the principal still owing.
The mortgage deed shows that he paid $252,000 while the begruptcy showed he managed to reduce that to about $227,000 so you're right, he only paid off about $25,000 in 5 and a half years. That being said, Seattle was in a huge real estate boom before and during Covid which raised the property's value to $379,000. Even if he hasn't touched the principal at all he's got at least $154,000 in equity on the property. I understand he's done a good job protecting himself from any claim Kat might have but hopefully that kind of asset could still be used to show he can afford to pay alimony.
Not just that, we're talking about someone who is either exceptional or very close. The idea of going to court instead of leaving in the night, or going to court specifically to get as much money out of Phil as she can, might just not occur to her.
I'm far too lazy to look up home values, but just knowing that my own place (major-ish city, minor power level) has gone up over 120k in just a year.... I would estimate that Dave has some significant equity over the loan. Unless the summer of love devalued shit up in the Washington and Oregon area... He could PRAHBABLY refi and pay off all kinds of shit. And by that, I mean finance a bunch of oily-man.png pulls.
I doubt he's done a good job. When does he do a good job? Also, alimony wouldn't be a long term thing, but more like a year at most for every 3-4 years of marriage. This is customary practice, not an ironclad rule. Also Washington is an equitable division state, so even though the wakahndo (or the equity in it) may not be community property, the court might take it into consideration when dividing what actually is the community property.
Tipping over to principal helps me long-term, but I need return on investment TODAY.
Pierce Brosnan would be proud.
Did this Chad run out of digital film? Where are the full body shots?
Looks like a gas station, so maybe just happened to be arriving as they were leaving?
No wedding ring on. Debunked.
Hahaha I love you guys. What a weird feeling to be having heavy speculations that she got fat and it turns out to be true like 90% of the things that get thought about here.
Dave and Kat's marriage license is public record, I assume if they got divorced someone could look that up.
I've had an old highschool friend who said she was not with her "husband" anymore but are like across the country and didn't bother with paperwork so divorced but not really set in?. Not sure to be honest here, probably trying to ruse me. It's still a mystery that needs more coverage.
Look at the wedding picture with Khet where she was already putting weight on. Now take away her Homer Simpson shotgun makeup, and extrapolate another couple years of shut-in consooming. That is definitely her.
Is it even Kat? It looks like a morbidly obese Kyle Rittenhouse.
