My parents are getting a divorce. They recently just went through mediation and I believe my disabled mother is getting, for a lack of a better term, screwed.
My mother has been out of work for approx. 20 years because she is permanently disabled. She acquires around $1000/mo. from Social Security.
My father, on the other hand, is a healthy (and wealthy) man who makes approx. $200,000/yr.
They were married for over 23 years.
They're also selling the house they shared for over 9 years. Both their names are on the deed.
My parents went through mediation and my mother misunderstood what she was signing (I believe it was a tactic used by my father and his attorney to exploit my mother's weaknesses)
So, after the papers were signed and Mom returned home, she realized what she thought she was getting from my father was way off.
He will be paying her less than $3,000 a month in alimony. Which means he'll be receiving more than $13,000 a month. He is also making her pay off half the debts HE has accrued over the years with the money they get once the house sells.
Is there ANYTHING she can do? With her medical bills, expensive prescriptions, and occasional financial support for her children, she will hardly be able to eat.
My mother has been living in filth, wearing holey clothing, and "taking the scraps from the table" for her entire marriage while my father takes cruises and vacations, buys whatever new gadget he wants, as well as a new sports car.
There must be some way for my mother to get justice.
Please, please help.

What is she gatting in a property settlement ($$ wise). This is often given in leiu of lower alimony. Beyond that, her income is $48,000 now...$4K a month....sure wish someone would "screw" me this way!
Your mom needs an attorney, if she wants things to be looked over.

If you understood the extent of the extreme abuse my mother had to endure during her ENTIRE marraige, as well as the expenses she has due to a debilitating illness that she has no control over whatsoever, you wouldn't have used quotations around the word "screw"..
You want to be screwed the same way she was? Try walking a mile in her shoes, you insensitive prick. You'd pray for death after the first few steps.
