The son, daughter and soon to be ex wife all had a corporate meeting, and I guess there might be one or two other individuals vetted at the 'corporate' level, and proceeded to fire the soon to be ex husband. He is in denial. Bear in mind I considered him a close friend for a long long time, now. I have to draw the line with physical fights with a guy's wife and son.
They have lived here next to me for at least 30 years. The daughter, now 35, was just a little tyke when they moved in. "I guess" the business is doing well. The son is a go getter, all self taught. I am amazed with that kid.
She is not going to get rich with this divorce. The husband could easily lose his classified / top secret job at the Navy base up at Bayview---they research underwater submarine sound. The house is in deep, and it turns out the husband had financed the motor home by himself, and THAT is in deep. She left teaching early because of the dump truck business, and I think it has screwed up her retirement somehow. I talk to her briefly every day or two, and you can tell she is having ups and downs. The divorce court is gonna get underway soon, I guess. I don't know about the criminal end of it. Sounds to me like the prosecutor is maybe shooting for a felony, and maybe room to plead down to a misdemeanor. This is a sad end to what had been (I thought) a great family. Near as I can tell, the two kids are all in with Mom.
Between what little I've talked with the husband, and what she's said, he is in denial.
This is a screw up of the first order. Threw away his entire kingdom. After the first round, he was on probation for I think 5 months and was supposed to be going to counseling / therapy. That was his chance to turn this around. No. Let's do round two.
Threw away his shop and house, nice boat and motor home, decent house, a great family. This will cost both of them, and as I said, he will be darn lucky to keep that job. He is just over 60 or so, so finding another lucrative job will not be easy. He had actually gotten his CDL, and drove a few of the dumps a bit on weekends. He was planning on learning an excavator and incorporate that. All that is gone, and a conviction like this could cost him his CDL, as well
His wife is not money hungry. She doesn't have lavish things, doesn't go to expensive outings, I have no idea WTF caused all this. If it turns out to be documentable mental instability, that's another reason to fear losing the Navy job.
