I am so angry!!

STBX is trying to get out of paying child support since we'll be sharing custody. He's also paying off my car so figures that's helping support me. I figured up what my expenses will be once I'm on my own and realized there's no way I can make it on my new salary. I'll be making $17,000 a year, he makes $70,000. His response... "you can always get government assisstace." WHAT??? He's willing to let his daughter go on food stamps and live in subsidized housing because he doesn't want to pay child support? I don't think so!

Urgh, they make me soo mad. What the heck do they expect. They made these kids and then it's like we cursed them with the plague or something when we want them to pay c.s. Because of c.s. my ex says I ruined his life. Ha ha, I find that hilarious.
I agree with sang, there should no way that he can get out of paying. What kind of man want to anyway. Is it set up through the court. I did mine like that right away and my ex is furious b/c he cant escape it and cant control how much he gives. That's actually the kicker. He lost CONTROL of his own money and as you know MONEY to a man is like being king of the jungle.
Hang in there girl.
OY!
My ex said when he left, "you and our kids will always have the same standard of living regardless of whether I am here" "nothing will change".... and for about 6 months, that was the case. Then he started resenting it and decreasing the money until I finally said enough is enough and I filed for divorce.
He also said, "you can always get assistance"..... ummmm no!
That is the selfish way of them looking at the situation. It's all about money with XH's everywhere... Who knows why... get it legalized. He will have to pay sooner or later. In NY it is based on someone being appointed custodial parent and then the non-custodial parent paying a certain percentage of their income as child support.
Hugs and good luck :)

Darling, let him tell it to the judge. Could be amusing.
Got counsel?
