Hi just a quick note to Jgrind and will respond to Twinhope later. Jgrind - $600 is a joke. Does your H co-own your house with you. Then he should be paying 1/2 mortg/taxes/insurance especially since you are raising HIS kids. That is cr@p. Does H think when you sell the house he will get 1/2???
I told my H straight out this is YOUR decision to abandon the marriage and you are responsible for 1/2 for the mortg/taxes/ins/lot mort/lot taxes -- all in all he is paying me $2100 a month including child support. I gave him a break on child support which roughly would be $800 a month so I reduced that to $450 otherwise he would have almost no money. I also told him I would not move till H turns 18 (3 more years so as far as I am concerned this is what we have to pay. Also H wanted the larger house and the lot next door.
Of course he is spending money like water since he has never done a budget in his life. I wonder if the OW knows he is in serious credit card debt? You need to ask what for what you deserve. Have you talked to Atty? Otherwise you should get the house.
That burns me that H feels that is all you need and I bet he is living high on the hog. Sorry to steal this stich but I got mad reading that.
