Her ex owed over $109k. She and her daughters were forced to move in with her parents after she lost her spacious home because her ex refused to pay his child support and alimony obligations.
She had been a stay-at-home mom and had become disabled and unable to work. The combined monthly payments of support and alimony would have been enough to sustain her and the kids until the house was sold as per the divorce agreement if only her ex had paid.
He was a business owner and he was able to pay but unwilling because his old life infringed upon his new life.
