10 Answers My mother in law gave my husband money (amounting to A$25,000.00) as 'gift' in order to get a house (mortgage); after a year, when she learned that my sister in law paid my husband the money my sister in law owes (A$50,000.), my mother in law asked my husband to pay her back! And now she's suing us; we we're stunned & shocked! It was so upsetting bec. D money that my sis. In law paid, we put it already as payment in our mortgage too. This is so disappointing! Any comments?! |

| Well, I can see the mother-in-law being upset if she gave her son a down-payment for a house because he was in financial difficulties, only to find out that the difficulties were because the son had loaned a large sum of money, only to be repaid the loan within a year of getting the gift. 25K is not a small gift, and to find out that her son is now in possession of twice that might make her feel like she was taken. On the other hand, I'd only be asking for the 25K back, myself. Or else just making a quiet note to myself that your family will not be getting any future help from me, or more than token gifts. | ||||
