Dad’s Dilemma: Save Ex’s Home or Let Her Face the Music?

Meet our hero, a 36-year-old dad who’s been through the wringer with his ex, ‘Jane’. Their love story was short-lived, ending abruptly when Jane got pregnant and expected a ring. Our hero, however, wasn’t ready to tie the knot. This set off a chain reaction of custody battles, flying monkeys (aka Jane’s support system), and a whole lot of drama. Now, Jane’s in financial hot water, and she’s knocking on our hero’s door for help. Should he step in to save the day or let Jane face the music?

Our hero is stuck in a real-life drama. His ex, Jane, made some poor financial decisions and now she’s on the brink of losing her home. She’s turned to him for help, but he’s got a condition – he’ll help with the loan payments only if she signs over the house to him.
