“That’s pretty harsh coming from someone who complained about their alimony being reduced. One can easily say the same thing about your situation. You’re the one who CHOSE to marry the POS ex-husband. My point is that, it is part of his part but it’s also the bank’s fault for the whole lose lending. He’s just asking for ideas about the ramification of walking.”

Nope, apples and oranges. Yes, I married my ex and I already paid for that by the pain my 10-year marriage has caused me. Therefore I took my lumps. It has nothing to do with his responsibility to pay alimony. If you know anything about the law regarding child support, If I had made more money than my ex and he had been the stay-at-home parent, I would have to pay HIM alimony.

Regardless, you can’t blame this on the banks. If a buyer chose to buy a house he couldn’t afford, it’s HIS fault. Nobody held a gun to his head. If I choose to believe a chocolate cake is worth 1 million dollars, whose fault is it? The one selling it to me? Or mine?…

“Last I check, he/she didn’t ask for government bail out. That actually got stated implicitly once and he/she never asked about it either.”

No, he didn’t ask for it. But, he is passing the buck on his responsibility in this situation. He chose to buy, nobody forced him.
