When I was married, my son in law would always start telling these long-ass bullshit stories that had nothing to do with anything, just to go on to lie to me about why he needed money.

Just get to the point, and tell me you want to get a beer (he was 23). Or don't bother telling me why you want money, just "hey can I get $3?"

He wasn't your son in law after you got divorced?

He was only my son-in-law because his wife was my step-daughter. Are we still related even though the only thing relating us was my marriage? I honestly don't know.

Demoted from extended family to acquaintance.

No, he just stopped asking for money.

I did that once. I didn't need to pay my $77 past-due phone bill that costed more because I bought a data plan for my tablet. I didn't buy a data plan for the tablet since I can just use a hotspot. My phone bill at the time was $27 and was paid on time. I didn't need $77. I had $300. I only wanted my mother, the source of all my suffering, to pay for my legal name change. I knew I could waive the fee. I didn't. I wanted her to be $77 poorer.
