Unique...I'm with ya girl. Had 4 kids with my first husband, was so glad to just be out and away... I never filed for one penny of child support. He would have thought that an open invitation to show up any time, and dictate what ever he thought should happen....no way. I would have worked 3 jobs, just to keep him out of the picture.

Here's a sad story.

My brother married this girl from a family of 14 sisters and brothers...dirt poor never had a pot to p--- in, well you know.
Three years ago she files for divorce. He sells the house gives her half, pays the non-support for both kids, even though they live with him.
Divides his 401 plan...everything 50/50, all this so she can live across town with her new boyfriend.
Last summer, if my brother was 5 minutes late (from his workplace) in picking the children up
she was able to charge $250.00 for each 5 minutes late. Told him she and the new boyfriend had a life and he needed to be on time, so they could meet their dinner reservations and such. Her new boyfriend is close friends with a judge in town.
My brother called last week to tell me she never paid the fine for the 401 early withdrawal, (her half) so now the IRS is charging him the $4000.00 dollars. His child support is near $1000.00 dollars each month. Kids are always with him, except for when he travels for work.
Now, he is without Christmas money...so no gifts from dad.
Wrong...I mailed a check today.
Some of these women just need to do the right thing. Treat others the way they want to be treated.

My brother is such a loving dad...he was also a loving husband, and never saw the divorce coming. Last year he faced cancer alone. Didn't tell me until all traces of cancer was treated. Please say a prayer for a healthy peaceful loving Christmas for him and his children, he truly is deserving.

And...that's my story.
