It seems to me that you are having the same issues with your 2bx that I was having with my father and his constant withdraws on Banc du Corri. Remember when I said I was writing him a letter to state that the bank had closed? Did so. Nice, but clear, I thought.
Don't you know he called me today. Here's how he starts, and I so knew what he was doing...
Corri: "How you doing, Dad?
Dad: Oh, I guess okay. Kind of so-so.
(Meaningless small talk ensues, and then he informs me that he is just tapped out and no Xmas presents will be forthcoming from him this year. Tell the boys for him. Eyeroll.)
Dad: Oh, Corri, the next time you are out.. uhm... could you...
Corri: I'm sorry Dad, I don't have any money to send you. I hope you remember that in the last month or so, I've sent you over $1,000. I'm tapped out. Remember? I'm done. I told you that. Do you understand how bad it hurts me to have to tell you no?
Dad: Corri, you're father is an azzhole. Blah, blah, blah, more self-deprecation ensues... and don't you know, the convo ends rather quickly.
I'd say, Mo, your 2bx is looking in the mirror and confronting himself. If you let him off the hook, as you always have, he can go on with his self-delusion and complete irresponsibility.
I say... follow that link Hairdog gave you... even if you only collect ONE MONTH of child support. It is the exact same thing as me closing the Banc du Corri. I'm sure some other very astute poster on here can illuminate why that is so. I just can't explain it right now.
