Thank you for your honest replies. I know I am an idiot for not standing up to my x-hubby and I have to take full responsibility for that. I just wanted to clarify that I was a SAHM for 18 years, we have 3 kids and the youngest was 6 years old when he left. I have to say that I was proud of myself for getting my AA degree by taking courses at night and working during the day. I would like to get my Bachelors, but to be honest I don't know if can do it. But, that is not my X's problem. Susan- I need to respectfully add that, yes, I don't make alot of money($12/hr) but I don't think my kids have suffered from my lack of action. They have always had what they needed and most of what they wanted. I use my entire paycheck for them as well as all the child support and all of the alimony(except for $ I saved out of the alimony). I don't buy anything for myself because I know I don't deserve it,my paycheck isn't big enough for extras for me. I 'm not complaining though, seeing my kids happy makes up for it!
I plan on e-mailing my x-hubby and letting him know that from now on I will be mailing him reciepts for all extras and activities. He will have to pay me back half or I will consult a lawyer. He might think it is just an empty threat but I don't care, I will do it!! Some months the kids extras add up to over $200, the alimony is $400 a month. I know $400 is alot of money but he knows it is all used for the kids. I know if he payed for half of the kids extras losing the alimony won't be so bad. I will wait to see what his response is to my e-mail and take it from there. I will post again to tell everyone how I made out.
Just wanted to add an apology for any misspellings in my posts, I don't type much on the computer!!!

I stand by what I said. Your kids have "suffered" by your actions of not geting the full amount due from their father. If you don't think growing up, watching your mom do without, so you have a good life isn't hard on kids, you're wrong.
You had a duty to collect that money, to improve your lifestyle, or to build a savings so you aren't in the spot you're in now. I hope you will NOT allow your ex-H to get away with this any longer.

Good for you! I hope you follow through. I'd include the wording from you CO. Tell him that in the past, you were receiving alimony so you didn't have a "need" to ask him to follow the court order. But now that alimony has ended, you will no longer be able to afford to cover the expenses that he should be covering.
