I will spare you the details for now, but I am searching for other mom's who were the main breadwinner in the family and subsequently, pay CS.


My DH was lazy and didn't work hard when he did have a job.

I'm not in your situation, but I am a family lawyer.


I wonder what principle bothers you?

Yes, of course what bothers me is the fact that he has been lazy all these years and either not worked at all or held jobs where he "coasted" until he was fired.

They say you teach people how to treat you --and this was a hard lesson to learn.

HI there Hockeymon,


I am not a woman, but I can empathize.


My ex wife gets quite a bit in child support, and we have joint custody.


What I find bothersome is that she uses CS to maintain an expensive life style rather than supporting the child.


She lives in a house with a mortgage that is quite high.

I am not in your situation (SM, always worked full-time, joint custody, I have physical custody.)

It's okay to jump...you have wings! 

To move forward...you have to stop looking back.
