Donald Hullings, Vice President and Director of Jones Edmunds in Gainesville, Florida kicked his wife and children out of their home in Gainesville, Florida and then squatted in the home for over three years, refusing to pay mortgage, taxes, or maintenance, although he lied to the court and told them he had.  When his wife produced documents proving he had failed to honor his obligations and had violated a court order, Donald Hullings claimed he “forgot”.

After spending thousands of dollars on restaurants, dating services, gentleman’s clubs known for male prostitution, furniture, clothing, and alcohol, he claimed to the court he could not afford to pay the mortgage and declared bankruptcy.  According to court documents he shifted the house debt of over $400,000 onto his ex-wife.  Donald Hullings moved his family from state to state while his wife homeschooled their children.  While he earned in excess of $150,000 a year in salary alone, she was unemployed during fifteen of the twenty years of their marriage.  In open court, Hullings lied and claimed his wife had earned $100,000 a year in salary as an engineer although he could produce no documentation to prove this claim and in spite of the extensive documentation his wife provided to the court proving she’d been unemployed for fifteen years and had never earned such a staggering figure.

In open court, Hullings stated that he should not be expected to pay child support or spousal support and still carry on in the lifestyle he’d become accustomed to.  This was the lifestyle he led at taxpayers’ expense when he spent in excess of his $150,000 annual salary, refused to pay his debts, and declared bankruptcy.  After liquidating his own children’s college fund in excess of $126,000 he refused to give them any money for college and paid over $30,000 in attorneys fees to avoid paying them any child support.

Donald Hullings is currently dodging service for Contempt of Court and failure to pay back child support owed from 2011.
