So, you think I should just agree to paying some expenses out of the support until the house sells? This will ease his anxiety and I can make it on what I am making now!
From the first month he left, my H wanted to just pay the mortgage. I said "No, you can pay me XXXX in child support, which is what would be required in this state if we were D." It was about the same amount of money, but the point is that I wanted him to know what it would be like later. I wanted control over what I spent the money on and I wanted to know when things were paid. Also, if I pay the mortgage I can claim it on my taxes and he cannot. My L did say that I could legally ask for more money before we are D, but I did want to do it. I am trying to keep my eye on the big prize of getting him to give the house equity to the children for college funds. (So far, he has agreed!)
