Re: stepdad can use some help

You said he is now paying steady. How much?
Guess what? Most of the expenses you mentioned, are "LIFESTYLE."
Why should you tell the ex what to spend so that you and the new wife get the "credit" for HIS money?!
Why should divorced people have less rights than intact marriages? Why can intact marriages spend what they want on lifestyle and NCP's can't? Why do you want this money? Jealous of the past? Want to save your own money for your own selfish needs?
Did I ever mention that I was about to buy my girlfriend's 11 year old daughter (now 13) a super cool motorbike? Yeppers, I sure was. Do you know what the girlfriend's ex did? He bought it and told the daughter that it is mine (so that I control the usage of the motorbike) since the daughter lives with us and the son lives with the father.
It's called working together. Wouldn't you be bitter if some dude had more contact with your children than you? Of COURSE you would.
Start treating others as you would like to be treated... That is how child support becomes moot... Listen to that, read it, savour it. It truly is gospel. Statisticaly there is no better support of ESP (Equal Shared Parenting).
