I've noticed almost every post on here was defensive of your ex. You speak as though you care about him. I have to wonder why you're divorcing him. I'm not necessarily asking you to answer that. Maybe you should think about it though
Ok... here it is in a nutshell... lol We get along great as PALS and he IS a great guy, BASICALLY.... BUT.... we do CLASH horribly as a married couple... he is WAY too obsessive... etc.... We decided to spare each other any more pain by ending the marriage. We have never been happier with that decision and have been getting a long great ever since then. But as a married couple... watch out it is PURE H ELL. lol So this is much better for us... and neither one of us loves the other like we should anyway.
Does that explain things a little for you????  | |

You're complaining about the courts making him pay and stated you're pissed cause you don't think he should pay because custody is 50/50 and now you're saying you want grocery money...think of the monthly payments as grocery money then. And I don't know where you're from but in Ontario the courts can't make anyone pay anything unless you go after him for support... | |

And if he goes out and buys what the kids need and stuff that is support enough for me...  | |

if he is almost 18, isn't that when the support cut off age is?
and if that's true, why not hold off on the courts until he turns 18?
i dunno, just trying to be helpful! | |

| If this isn't just a bunch of fricken BULLSH*T.... Posted: 7/13/2005 1:13:36 PM | I think I'm in a similar situation, only my kids are younger, 8 and 4. I don't take support payments from my ex, although everyone around me screams about it! He does make more than me...but I still have access to the joint account, I can still buy things from there if I need to. I have more than enough, he is doing ok, so I don't see how forcing him to pay me like $500 per month is going to help anything. In fact, when I filed seperated on my 2004 income taxes, my child tax benefits per month went from $96 to $424 and I started getting GST payments 173 every 4 months, PLUS, I get a payment twice a year for 560 from the government...plus I got a whopping $3300 tax rebate. So the way I see it, it was Me that benefitted from the seperation way more than him.....
Sorry to hijack your post! :( | |

Posted: 7/19/2005 7:46:16 AM | | there's a lot of talk about giving the money back why not keep the money and put it into a college fund for the kids the money is for them in the first place if you do not want it why not allow them to have it sometime in their life | |

pfft.
I have a great deal of respect for you, Luvin. Kudos.
However... if he's making, like 80 grand a year, and you're making 30... weellll... I could kinda see how the courts would make that decision. | |
