pardon me if my numbers are way off for you, once upon a time We were very poor, (as in, WELL below the poverty level) and for many YEARS...
and now we're well off. So I've been poor...
But when you say your h makes a "good living" AND that you have a special needs kid AND
that he is paying you 1200 a month, is that supposed to be a lot?
I'm Not thinking it's much, especially for a special needs kid.
Who came up with that number? If he makes over $60k, you will get more than than from him in court, imo.
He's getting off easy, again....and yes, you are playing a role in that. And btw, it's not your money to refuse or give away. It belongs to your child, so remember that...
I knew a mother of 5 who had raised her kids in utter squalor, living in a fetid trailer park in a bad neighborhood with crummy schools...only 2 of the kids finished high school, and one began but dropped out of college. He enlisted in the service.
3 of them dropped out of high school and never finished. Jail, rehab, unemployment, abusive relationships, the whole nine yards...that's what 3 of her kids ended up with and one other is in a "bad way"....so one made it...
the mother told me once, with great pride, that she "never took a cent from her ex h" and that she had "raised those kids ALL ON HER OWN" and
when I asked her why she never took a cent from the ex h, she said
"b/c I didn't want to take a penny from that SOB AND he never got to see the kids either"....(gee, she sure showed him!)
so..she put her foolish pride ahead of the needs of her children, never occurred to her that it wasn't HER money to turn down. She never saw a problem with that. So, enough said.
So now, what are YOU going to do?
