It honestly sounded like the man was taking advantage. He was lying to the tribunal, so lucky she had all that evidence. I mean who tells the tribunal they paid for half of the car when they didn't. How did they think that was going to go? Did they think bank statements don't exist?

Also, $16k on takeaways over a few months? That sounds crazy to me.

It's an eye-watering amount of money, they must have been getting every single meal delivered to spend that much.

Feb through June 2023. 149 days at most. That's $107 per day. How does one person eat $107 of takeaways per day?

This is one person buying for two, but that's perhaps two meals a day, at over $50 for both.

Beats me.

Maybe buying booze on uber eats?

[–] Ilovethebomb 1 points 4 months ago

I didn't know you could do that.

But surely you wouldn't go to court to get reimbursed for food you bought for yourself? You'd only ask for the other person's share, right?
