<prompt> Human: Hey Reddit family,So mom brother and I find ourselves in a particularly awkward and strange situation. About a week ago, on her way to work mom noticed a car following her and dad. When she got out she went up to her office and noticed a man talking to dad, she went back and asked who he was. Dad said the guy was the plumber that was going to fix our bathroom pipes, she believed it and went back up but decided to go down and confront the man while he was still there, he told her that shes in fact not the plumber but actually and agent that works for the landlord whom we rent from. Fast forward a couple emails and back and forth conversations and mom finds out that dad hasnt paid rent in over 9 months and now owes 32k. I arranged a meeting with mom and the landlord and found out a bunch of lies dad told the company over the last 9 months. The main lie being that he somehow managed to forge moms signature on the lease papers, mom is right handed and dad is left handed and I can visibly see differences in the style of writing. The company says they need the money now and also want us to kick dad out. Fast forward a bit more, after extensive amounts of talks mom and I are trying to figure out why he hasnt paid or even told us of this debt when we could have helped. Dad always says that hes not paid on time, or that his boss hasnt paid him.He told the landlord that hes waiting on the sale of his house in order to pay them we dont have another house. We contacted his boss and he says he always pays him on time, although he wouldnt disclose how much for privacy reasons. Now this is the second time in a year that hes done this and sadly weve been blind to the whole situation so I guess we could blamed for being oblivious. Last year during April 2017 we found out that dad had not paid rent for 4 months, and that the car he bought from the landlord was also unpaid. At this time mom took on the responsibility and paid the rent 28004 months and 10k for the car. We are now faced with an even worse situation and I simply dont know how to help her, Im already working all I can to try to contribute and mom is maxed out on available funds. Long story short- dad forged moms signature on the lease, he owes 32k, hes lied about not receiving money consistently for the last year. He owes money on this house and the last one. Mom paid that debt and now is confronted with this, Ive started working a third job to help her out, Ive gone to the bank asking for a loan to cover the debt. What should I do, how can I help my mom?What financial and legal advice do you guys have?  <response>: Your dad might have a second life with another woman. My daughter just went through this exact thing. Lawyer up.
