Writer's Block: Jackpot
I'd probably split up a lot of the money between my family. Though there is one person I would probably pay off just to disappear.
William is my cousin's ex-boyfriend and father of her child. The boy (he's undeserving of the label "man") is utterly useless. He tomcats around with as many girls as he can arrange, can't hold a job, and has sired at least five other children besides my cousin's son. She finally saw through his charm and saw him for the snake that he is and left him. Too bad that wasn't the last of him, he refused to let her simply walk out on him and demanded his parental rights. He's not done this with none of the other kids he's had, it's strictly the result of him not wanting to let her go. The past few times the boy has been left in his care of him and his wife he has come out much worse for wear. Not serious physical abuse mind you, but it's clear William's wife does not like the boy and the older kids don't treat him right. Last Christmas he had to stay with William, and they only gave him some clothes while the other kids got toys. He's five years old now, and the state requires visitation at least till he's ten (then he can make up his own mind about it)
If I had a massive amount of money, I'd happily pay that bastard to sign away his parental rights and walk away. My cousin has tried for years to have them terminated, but he's fought it every step of the way. In spite of the massive child support debt he's incurred, he keeps at it. Though I figure if you wave a suitcase full of money at him, I'm sure he would fold in an instant.
And I would be just mean enough to hand it to him in cash. That kind of temptation should be quite irresistable to his greedy redneck heart. I'd make sure everything is done quite legally, and absolutely let the IRS where that money has gone. Give someone like that $250,000 you know the money would be gone within a month or two. Well before the tax man comes calling for his share.
