Well, I just got off the phone with him and now I actually do want to rob him. He did start crunching the numbers. Apparently, I would $12/week according to his calculations. And he will give me a one time payment of an extra $100.
He makes 81k per year. I made 123k last year. Because I work 2 jobs. When we were engaged, we both made big career changes. He left a well paying job he hated to do what he does not which started at 32k/year. I finished nursing school and back then I made 60k a year. We came to the decision and his job was going to be the one that set us up after retirement and mine was obviously the one that makes the money. I had to support just me and my daughter so I went back to school, furthered my degree, and worked my way up further . And for that I actually get screwed. He will retire by 55 with a full pension, healthcare paid for …… and I’ll work until I’m dead, likely 2 jobs.
It’s such a joke. I read all of these stories where women are making out like bandits on child support.
I couldn’t have gotten more screwed in this divorce financially. I’m certainly not going to town on my child support . Under $50 more a month. This is why I didn’t even want to bother . It was just going to make me angrier.
I know it’s been 15 years. But this is what I still get angry about. His decision has affected me lifelong. I can’t get ahead of the game even though I work my butt off. I have been stuck in this miserable state for 18 years because of his decisions.
Yeah, I’m feeling pretty angry and defeated right now. As I sit here at my second job.
