Magnum P.I.

By Anonymous - 26/08/2022 02:00

Today, I was in a slump for my private eye business. My idiot brother-in-law recently got engaged to a woman we don't know, and had a gut feeling about. Through my search, it turns out she is still legally married and only filed for divorce 3 weeks before the engagement. I don't know how to bring it up. FML

Having a past doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person, maybe they’ve been separated for a while but never got around to the divorce?

You don't know how to bring it up? Maybe that's why your private-eye business sucks?

Sometimes you have to rip off the Band-Aid and not dillydally about something. Which do you think would hurt more? Finding out that she still married and there’s a chance that the divorce might take longer than planned or finding out that the marriage is nothing but a sham? If you do choose to say something about this person still being married, make sure that you bring certified and notarized documentation because this person is going to be very hurt, and she might try to squirm her way out of this saying that everyone’s liars. Even though it is possible to forge some things, This is something that could easily be verified and or dismiss.

I don't see why the brother-in-law would care, unless she is still together with her husband, it's irrelevant except for legal matters.

You need to be able to find someone to serve them divorce papers. It’s possible the fiancée’s husband ran off and she couldn’t find him before now. I also know that in some places, you need to be living apart for X amount of time before you’re allowed to file for divorce, so depending on where fiancée is from, this may have been the fastest she could file.

Wrong, no you don't. Unfortunately I've seen a lot of divorce in my family. If the other party doesn't want the divorce, it can still happen. Even if the other party doesn't want it. Just need money. And a dissolution is only about a couple hundred dollars depending on which state you live in. Getting a divorce is easier than getting married I swear. That lady is still with her husband and she's cheating on him. She can't get married with still being legally married to someone else probably her only motivation for the divorce. She's clearly up to something.

Why does it matter if she is still legally married? Some states it is incredibly hard to get a divorce especially if the ex is being hostile and refusing to the sign papers. Also, it's none of your business. Butt out.

" i had a little peep since the relationship seemed fresh and it my job to look into things...." or something like that cant really speak for ya since i dont know how people would react from this couch
