to Mr Pip and one of his ex wives.

She was living on SS disability and getting her medical through Mass Health, which she didn't like. She kept pressuring him to marry her and put her name on the deed to his house that he had owned for like 20 years. Every chance she got, she would badger him to add her name to the deed, something he refused to do just because she DID badger him.

As it turned out, he discovered on their honeymoon that she had lied about a whole bunch of things (she left incriminating paperwork lying around) and she really only wanted his health insurance (and a share in the house that she never contributed a cent to).


The marriage lasted all of six months. In the divorce settlement, she wanted him to pay for the health insurance, claiming that one of her doctors did NOT accept Mass Health and he was vital to her care. He did, but when we got married he couldn't have both of us on the policy, so he dropped her, and that's when she brought a suit against him.

A little research uncovered the fact that her doctor did, indeed, accept Mass Health, and her suit was thrown out by the judge, who was much disgusted that she lied, and her lawyer (a friend of hers) wasn't too happy either to find out she had also lied to him and made him look like an ass.

Oh, and it's not like she was exactly living in poverty, either. She got disability on account of her back, but she was still doing hairdressing jobs on the side without telling the SSA.

A real friggen prize, that one...
