How to get LEGAL revenge on an ex who has really hurt our son, i.e. just cut off his health ins before surgery
Our son was born with a congenital condition that has wreaked havoc on every system in his body. He is now almost 20 and for the second time in his life, had to have braces in prep for jaw surgery. Because our son would not give his dad the "total respect" he literally DEMANDED (our son told his dad "respect is earned and you haven’t earned it"), his dad cut him off financially. This kid has had braces for for the last three years for the second time in preparation for surgery to alleviate TMJ and an underbite. Now there is no health insurance for his adrenal insufficiency or surgery, no tuition, no child support. Our son is a fulltime college student, so he can’t work fulltime. I can’t afford tuition or health insurance on my own. I couldn’t even afford a lawyer to fight the b*****d. My son is devastated. I can’t rest until the dog gets his due. What can I do to get revenge that won’t land me in jail? I will NOT DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL. Any help?

sue him. go to a lawyer, find out your legal options. I can not believe that a man would do that to his own kid! Thats simply wretched.
My only advice is to leave the man alone. It seems that your son is very troubled and is not willing to show respect to his father, and this may be because of your influence but the reality is that God has commanded us to honor our father and our mother and your son not only showed disrespect but it seems you think that it was okay for him to do so and to take advantage of his father. The boy is getting free health insurance from his father at 20 and he will not show respect. That is not right. Finally the role is reverse and the father is treating his son the same way the son is treating him. Without respect. I think that his father needs to apologize to his son and make it clear that so long as he will not show him respect than he will not show his son any respect. Parents have no legal or moral obligation towards their adult children especially when the adult children are not grateful.
Most lawyers will give a free consultation but you could contact an attorney named Dan Martino the troubleshooter.
go to http://www.thetroubleshooter.com he is based in Colorado and has a national talk radio show. He is very knowledgeable about the laws in most states and he can tell you if you have any recourse at all.
Cut him out of your son’s life.
Slow down. I looked at your other questions and responses before I answered this question. You are too good of a person to lower yourself to a "dog’s" level. Your response to another person’s concern was enthisusiastic and helpful.
The best retribution is proof that you CAN make it just fine without the b*****d or his money. In fact, you can do better, because you and your son actually know the meaning of the word respect. You’ll keep your son’s respect by taking the high road.
By the way, check with the counselors at the college to see if there is affordable health insurance for full-time students. The cost of the insurance should certainly be lower than the cost of your son’s medical needs.
You need to find a lawyer to deal with this. You shouldn’t be trusting an issue as important as your son’s health insurance to Yahoo Answers.
Living your life to the fullest. Revenge sounds like fun, in fact it helps to dream of it, but revenge is for no purpose. The time you spend taking revenge you could use finding free medical help, free braces, some scholarships, some assistance programs, or hey, a new man!!!
Revenge is punishment, punishment is used to correct bad behavior. Can you correct this man? Probably not.
If you did hire an attorney, if he is a loser and has no job, what will you gain with a judgement anyway? Does he owe back child support? DId you have a parenting plan? ANyway, he will get his. You live your life, get a mate, and take care of yourself.
How does your son feel about exacting some form of revenge?
It was your son that was wronged.
He may agree with you wholeheartedly,or he may not feel that this is the right thing to do.If he doesn’t agree,I wouldn’t do anything.If he does agree,He may appreciate being able to give you his ideas about what to do.
Everyone else here could probably give you better advice on legal things to do.I don’t happen to be subject to the same rules,control,or reality that most of you are,so my advice might be a little hard to take.
Either way,I hope things work out for you.
Revenge for what? Your child is 20 years old, like it or not the dad is no longer financially responsible. Also, you are only hearing one side of the story. Maybe there is more going on than you are aware of.
Have your son go to the county and see what assistance is available. If a person truely cannot afford it, there is help out there.
Tell him to get loans and financial aid to cover his tuition. Others have done it and survived. I worked full time while I went to college full time and graduated with honors. Plus I was married with a child! It is possible to do.
