"If I kick him out now, he will be living out of his car. "

So? What courtesies is this guy showing YOU?

Welcome to the board mama_of_3_2008,


Pride. You are worried about his pride. What kind of bride can he have when he doesn't work and allows his wife to support his 7 children. Then when she doesn't have the money, says not to worry your grandparents will pay for it. He has no pride.


I would kick him out in a heartbeat.

He is not doing his duty as the husband. As it says in the bible, husbands are (SUPPOSED) to be head of household, support, and love his family just the same as he loves himself. He is not supporting you and your kids, and his other kids. And you are right, you have no obligation on paying his child support. You can if you want to,
