The next day I got a text message from her father that read: "I have tried to stay out this sh1t between you and my daughter, but I have to say you are the biggest f*cking @$$hole I've ever had the misfortune of knowing. You are the most deadbeat father of all time. Congratulations f*ck face."
Wow, just wow! I don't know your R with your ex or pretty much any of it - which may be good for perspective here. So from where I sit, knowing just a little bit from what you've said, as a matter of legal court decree, you DO NOT have to pay her anything. This entire $2K falls on her - by her own agreement. So anything you offer to contribute is A GIFT. If it were me, after getting that response from both her father and then from her, I'd be saying "You know what, after further thought, I'm not going to contribute anything since it is obviously not at all appreciated." and be done with it. I mean you owe her NOTHING - you try to be a nice guy and see what it gets you? Why even bother? This is the only way people like this MIGHT and I stress MIGHT be able to get a clue. You teach people how to treat you and she's clearly been taught she can treat you like crap and still get what she wants. I'd pay her nothing and thank her father for it - but that's just me.
