Reelected in 2012 without having shown his face in the halls of Congress in six months, resigned less than a month later with a nice financial package to see him on his way, followed shortly enough by indictment for corruptioon... . is asking a judge to allow the sale of the $2 million home where his estranged wife lives, saying he can no longer afford to support her lifestyle. Recent court filings amid their divorce case claim Jackson Jr. is forking out $5,100 a month in alimony, school fees and voluntary payments to his children while Sandra Jackson refuses to pay the mortgage. She opposes the sale of the property, according to the court filing. Jackson Jr., who served time in prison for misusing campaign funds, was said last year to be $1.8 million in debt, with legal costs over their divorce only adding to the burden. He draws $125,000 in taxpayer-funded annual workers’ compensation and disability payments and lives in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported. |

| #4 If she hasn’t been making mortgage payments, the bank will foreclose on the thing, evict her and the kids — though it may take up to a year — and sell it, not crediting them with however much equity they might have in it. This will impact her credit rating but not his, which suggests that neither of them has any brains. |

| #3 If these numbers are right, he's still broke once he sells the house. I think he'd be better off declaring Chapter 11 first and hope Sandra marries someone else, fast. |
