    I have been trying to find information on some properties that I am a co-owner and my ex husband said that there was one left, come to find out there are more than one, he reopened the Eagles Nest RV park and Motel in Magdalena. I am co-owner and I don’t know how that is going to affect my taxes. I’m finding that they are not telling the truth about certain situations. It was bad enough that he was able to get loans in my name after we were divorced. At which time he had lost the power of attorney and they didn’t even bother to call me and ask.

  2. Debra J Innerbichler says:

    I’m trying to find financial information in regards to our business’s. I don’t have any records because they burned up when the office and my warehouse burned down. I can’t get my ex husband to give me any information.
