How can legal debt affect your financial health?
Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, it's the Ramsey Show. We help people build wealth, do work that they love, and create actual amazing relationships. I'm Dave Ramsey, your host. Jade Walshaw, number one best-selling author, Ramsey personality. She's my co-host today. Open phones at 888-825-5225. Tanner's in Oklahoma City. Hey, Tanner, what's up?
Hi, Mr. Ramsey. How's it going?
Better than I deserve.
How can I help? I'm dealing with some family law issues, and it's kind of taken over half of every one of my paychecks. And I'm kind of dealing with a dilemma where I'm trying to find the balance between trying to do what's right for my kids and be financially responsible at the same time.
Can you elaborate a little bit?
What are you going through? I had a son when I was 22, still in college, and I later divorced my wife that I had that son with. Then shortly before I graduated, I had a girlfriend and we got pregnant. She disappeared on me while we were pregnant. Okay.
And shortly after I, right before I was about to graduate, you know, every month I was having to spend several hundred dollars towards attorney's fees to get, you know. To try to find her? That, yes, originally.
Okay. So you found her, then what happened?
So then around a couple months before I graduated, both of these custody disputes kind of started being simultaneous and in tandem. So my ex-wife, we had 50-50. When we divorced, I was seeing my son every week for the whole week, and I had him, and then we would trade off like that.
