Hello! My question has to do with $2500 that my life partner and I loaned my sister almost one year ago to pay a med bill so she could continue getting cancer treatment. We wired her the money so there is proof we did this. We found out a couple of months later that she did not have cancer and instead used our money to travel to MS to gamble. She has a gambling problem. She's also a con-artist of sorts and she refuses to pay us back. I live in NYC and she lives in Indiana. I understand that I will need to travel to Indiana to file and then go back later for court date. Will the fact that the account we sent the money from is only in my partners name and we are not legally married yet? Will he have to be the one to file and do all the work on this or can I? He is willing to just forget the money but I am not. What I will have as proof of debt will be the wire transfer from the account that is not our shared account and in his name only. Will I have problems with this?
My sister is terrible. Not only did lie to get money from us, she stole basically everything from my dying mothers home. Anything that she could sell in a yard sale or eBay she took. She did this after not speaking or having anything to do with my mother for 20 years. I understand that I have to let her get away with the thefts but if I can get that $2500 back it would make me feel a little better.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
