I know you have a lot on your mind now. But have you considered sharing this info with you L?
You may be advised to prepare for some future action. He should not be off the hook forever just because he is not working now. He will get another job. We all need fries !!!
Your L may advise you on what is required to lay claim to back payments once he is working. There may be room to lay claim to part of his separation, or tight shirts.
I know you aren't concerned about how this will play with his new gal; though I expect it will be proverbial "you know what in the punch bowl". As much as it will hurt you financially right now, she will probably like it a whole lot less! Just wait till he calls to rant about that sorry B!tch leaving him .... and how can somebody do that to somebody else. That is when I will send you a bottle of the good stuff!!
The family that loves him in spite of his actions can feed him. It is not your job to let him off the hook. He owes his kids. Time for him to Man Up and do without for the kids.
And I'll have a chocolate shake with those fries Dude!
