Father Being Robbed by Prostitute Wife

Father is 71. He began showing mental decline symptoms since 2002. His brother had ALZ. He has wealth. He is not a boy scout. He has a history of soliciting sex from prostitutes. The latest prostitute was able to bully him into marrying her.

She is a dominatrix or has had training. She has been arrested three times. She uses at least marijuana. She is working with at least two others males. They seem to have a thing for real estate: buy high-sell low. She was bankrupt before my father.

She is 51. She did not show up for the first (only) Christmas. She said she was too tired. To this day, public records indicate her boyfriend's drivers license has her house address. She did not invite her father, mother, sister, or brother nor her accomplices to the wedding even though they all live within 60 miles. She is isolating our father from his family and friends. To some degree, he goes along with it; he likes to hurt those who care about him--passive aggressive personality.

All property, except hers, has gone into joint custody. She demanded half of the estate on his death or after 5 yrs of marriage. She demanded pay in six figures and a condo before marriage.

It's a slow motion theft. What can we do?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

As long as your father has not been declared incompetent, he has the right to do as he pleases with his life and his money. If you believe he is not in full control of his mental faculties and able to make logical decisions, you may wish to consider filing to ask for a guardian to be appointed over the person and property of your dad. You should meet ith an attorney to discuss the process and what it costs to file.
