Going straight forward...antlers 6th thread.

StupidRomeo and Bridgestone, thank you both for your posts. I appreciate your input.

I started paying after the final resloution conference (that's when my attorney made the order clear to me) and BEFORE there were contempt of court charges filed.

During this long separation (we were separated for 8 months before she filed for divorce), I continued to make her car payments, and I continued to make her car insurance payments. I wasn't bound to do these things. I've since paid her car off completely. During this time, I've also spent a couple of thousand bucks on clothing for the kids. I've continued to take care of my family as I always have, under the difficult circumstances that have been documented in the pages on this board.

She was pissed during the 8 month separation, from Feb. of 09 to Oct. of 09...while I was paying for her car and making her insurance payments (even though I wasn't required to). She was pissed when she borrowed my luggage to go on one of her ocean cruises, and then stole the luggage; she was pissed when she borrowed my expensive Craftsman drill to hang up something in her house, and then stole the drill, and she's been pissed since she filed for divorce last October, even before there was an order to pay child support...and she's been pissed ever since. She's basically been pissed since she left in Feb. of 09...and I have no doubt that she would've still been pissed had I understood the order and been paying since last November!

She started seeing changes in me before she left, and she saw plenty of changes in me during the separation...before she filed for divorce. Her anger sure isn't about not getting her 'child support'!
