Q: My ex partner wants to sue me because he lost his green card and wants to lie and say I robbed it but has no proof?
He had gave it to me because I had lend him 3,000 dollars so in exchange he told me to keep his green card. It was irresponsible of me by letting our child play with several of my cards and his green card, and I had informed him a month ago about it no being able to find it but he didn’t do any report nor to his immigration lawyer nor to the police but now just because he’s upset for who knows what reason he wants to say I robbed it and destroyed it. What can I do?
A:
You have already done too much letting your child play with the green card, there is nothing more that you can do. His lawsuit is not going to go anywhere. What is he going to do? Spend $500 in filing fees to file for unlimited or limited jurisdiction in Superior Court or spend $50 to file a small claims lawsuit? And, what are his damages? The card has no intrinsic value, like a driver's license, the cost is what it costs to replace it. You need to separate your things from your child's toys, this is why we buy them toys, if they break or lose the toy, no problem, little loss. If they break or lose your $800 iPhone with all your personal data and banking information on it, this is a problem. Buy your child some toys.
