Jim, Does your child support just become voluntary now so you'll continue to pay it informally? I always wonder how this works. I'm not in that situation myself but I guess you won't know if that letter was a mistake until you ask or get it cancelled.

That's great your mother-in-law sees how your wife lives on her own. I'm surprised your wife didn't clean more before her mom came. It's good that your MIL now knows it wasn't you! It's interesting how cleaning works in every family. That sounds tiring for you to do it after traveling. It's strange that you put up with it all those years and yet your wife is the one to leave you.
