That feeling when back child support is paid off :-)

Finally! Woot woot woot woot woot woot.

And only 2 more years until the last kid ages out. }:)

It's a good feeling to get $300+ back each month. Still sucks that DH pays $600+ for one kid, only because BM works a shitty dead end job and DH works a good job. But that is what it is so I wont focus on that.

Its not even having more money that makes me excited, its the fact that it is one less thing that ties us to BM.

ETA: $600 per month, not $500 per month

The only reason he had back child support was because when SS aged out (who lived with DH), BM (which was a HUGE surprise) or DH never got the CS re-evaluated. So DH was basically paying less for YSD and MSD who lived with BM, even though SS no longer lived with him. But of course by the time they got it re-evaluated, DH had a WAY better paying job. Like $8 more an hour and they retroacted it back the whole time (16 months) even though DH only had the better paying job for maybe 6 months????

Of course BM made it out like DH was some dirt bag because he owed back child support. And I'm thinking Bitch you got so lucky when it got caculated.... but I believe in karma...so one day BM will get what is coming to her.

Sorry...but you really feel 6000.00 a year is alot money to help raise a kid? Dose DH have 50/50 custody or is the kid with BM more?

6000.00 a year to help raise a kid is getting off easy.

It's $7200 a year. $600 a month. $600 from each parent is $1200. I doubt that it costs $1200 a month to provide for YSD. Especially since she is involved in zero activities.

Whatever he is ordered to pay by the court is "fair". I guess. I mean I think if BM makes $10 an hour and DH makes $30 an hour (for example) that it is a little unfair that DH picks up the slack. Especially since DH was only making $15 an hour when he was married to BM and he bettered himself through education and hard work since their divorce.

My Ex is ordered to pay $300 a month which is $3600 a year. He is $12,000+ behind in CS. I spend that much in child care alone and he is involved in many sports, all of which I pay for.

But whatever the court orders, it is what it is.

I do agree its unfair that one parent works hard to improve themselves while another just does the minimum to get by.

Denture Debbie is a classic case of extreme laziness.

It is a lot of money when it is coming out of your pocket but doesn't seem like as much when you are on the receiving end.

The crazy bastard pays 8064.00 a year in CS to me. I provide a nice enviroment for my son excellent health care and because my MS medication runs through the insurance before anything else, my ex never has to pay his 40% of med expenses. We live in a nice school district and my daycare comes to around 6220.00 a year.He won't even buy fing sunscreen to put on our child at his place and I had to send swim trunks to leave there and the lazy SOB has not in 2 1/2 months taken BS to the indoor pool where he lives.

Personally if he would just go crawl back under his rock I would give up the CS.

This is how my hubby feels. He just wants Denture Debbie to stay under her rock. He dose not ask for CS. But of course he has me to make up for her lack of funds. Meh.
