Any pics of the ceiling? Are there fireworks stuck in it?
All those fireworks went off and she couldn't get to him sooner to stop him?
If you wanted full custody, now may be a good time to fight for it.
While she was "watching" her child, he nearly burns the house down? That won't go over well.
And as mentioned, homeowners should cover it, minus deductible.
This.
In fact, tell her to give you $15k to keep your mouth shut and not revisit the custody agreement.
That whole kitchen isn't worth $32k.
Tell her to EAD and FOAD. Kid was under her supervision at her house. Look at it as God getting even.It was my son’s week to be at his mom’s house. While he was there he was playing with Fire works, caught the house on fire and did $36k of damage. My ex wants me to cover half. The rest of the story is I caught him at my place a month earlier playing with smoke bombs. I took it all away and had a long talk with him. Only question is, am i legally responsible? It was an ugly divorce so there is no working with her.
I've got no worthwhile legal or insurance advice. Speaking from first hand experience, I can say with some degree of certainty your young fella will probably grow out of this about the time the fumes come into view (gas fumes and perfume), if not sooner.
I played with matches WAY too much. Caught some old carpet on fire in the attic when I was 12 that involved fire trucks. "Accidentally" dropped a lit match in a 2 gallon can of gas...
Somehow the house never burned down. Beats me why it didn't.
