You may not remember but my H went on a bit of a spending spree, new cars, home theaters systems, new clothes...well he had to get everything new because when he left he took nothing but his shaving kit! and he did all this with NO income...I warned some of the creditors not to extend his credit but they did not listen, I told them not to call me when he didn't pay...one had the nerve (BMW financial) and reminded them that they chose not to listen to me and I had a legal seperation so...sorrrryyyyy!
We have been back together for going on 4 yrs...I keep the child support because it is does protect me and my son financially...if it were not in place those creditors would be taking all the money and I would not have it...so as my personal protection I have the child support and the legal seperation in place...until such time as H decides to deal with his past financial issues...I didn't cause them, contribute to them, and refuse to suffer for them.
