He must be a real deadbeat to not support his own kids.  But if my ex wanted to send the kids to camp, she (and her boyfriend) paid for it.

I think that's the definition of deadbeat. My condolences for having married such a piece of work.

You should find some advocacy group in your area for women in your situation.

I’m not promising success....but it doesn’t hurt to start the process of obtaining some sort of child support.

I understand that court proceedings, etc might not be your cup of tea.

I’ll look when I have some time. It might not help immediately....but it’s at least a small step.

And having 2 disabled children might help a bit more.

Yep. I understand “complicated.” I’ve known people in complicated situations. I know it’s not all “black and white.”

Honestly I'm lucky in that my parents help n way above the costs. Not worth it.


Just peeved bcuz am contemplating some issues bcuz school is starting n he refuses smthing he signed on (schedule) n his only reason is for not having to give more support.
So it pisses me off bcuz his motivation is so self-centred

Although im not asking fr nor caring abt the support.. (Thts why i added up the costs just to make a point to him that if i cared about $$ i wd have used court for that)

Just the schedule we signed on bcuz the toll of doing it his way shows every school year n each year he refuses

You need to use your bargaining chips more.

You’re a very smart lady. I’m jealous of your broad intelligence and insight.

Unfortunately, whichever parent can pay their lawyer the most money usually wins these cases. Those parents persist fighting and starting new motions until the other parent can't afford counsel. It's also a matter of which parent is willing to lie or cheat in their paperwork, with less regard for ethics. It's not really about gender. The parent who can't afford to continue, or has difficulty with self-advocacy, is usually at a great disadvantage regardless of the best interests of the children. If a parent has a disability themselves, it is often used against them in their case for physical and / or legal custody. Likewise, court orders are seldom enforced as written despite the high cost and length of time incurred. Enforcement is a very slow, tedious, and expensive process as well.

You’re quite okay, Blooie...

I should go out more often. I'm getting soft over long walks.

Now, malls have mandatory 'no faceshield no entry' policy in addition with the previous concerning masks.
How do I fit my glasses with these?

Maybe I'm buying and try those contact lenses sooner.

My 'friend' from East Germany basically told me he's glad that Trump is wrecking the US because it's kept Russia out of war. He's also a communist who told me I should stop being selfish and start thinking about other people around the world.

I'm not sure how to take that. Yeah I know the US has selfishly destroyed other countries but being my 'friend' I think it's pretty awful that he's glad my country is falling apart.
