Feeling uncomfortable about it. Also feel like she might screw me over on custody for it (by not picking up the kids on time intentionally to make me late for work) Not as a joke, but actual advice: cash that check and don't feel bad. As a lawyer, I would say there's about a 90% chance she's trying to **** with you. People getting divorced do the most unbelievably petty things to each other. 100% yes. Most people don't keep detailed enough budgets to really understand how much money they truly have. I'm probably not complete wrong by saying that she does a few of the following: goes out to eat occasionally, gets coffee from a coffee shop in the morning, has a car loan, buys lottery tickets, buys crap she only uses once, buys name brand groceries, or has a cable package. If so, then she has money enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel really bad about it and can support yourself and your kid without it, put the money in a college fund. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the intent, but if i were TyTy i wouldn't drive myself crazy trying to keep track of every dollar and make sure every cent goes to the kid. Why? Some months expenses will be lower than the child support, some months they'll be higher than the child support Money is fungible Children can't really legally "own" that money anyway, to my knowledge I suppose he could set up some kind of sinking fund or a college fund with the extra each month. But again, i wouldn't go crazy about it. What I would do is lump it into my normal monthly budget and treat it like every other dollar of my income. At the same time make sure the child's expenses are taken care of, and college savings would be a kicker if there's enough left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can provide for himself and his kid without it, great, set up a college fund with the rest. That'd be a far better use for it than letting the ex-wife spend it on god knows what. If not, basic necessities always come first. So when I say "it's not for you, it's for the kid", I'm not saying he can't spend any of it on things that would benefit him. I'm saying more that he has an obligation to his kid to use that money appropriately. Edited April 11, 2019 by ramssuperbowl99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she doesn’t make pick up times, you go back to court. That kind of stuff isn’t optional. Use a month or two of the child support to pay the legal fees if needed 😂 As others have said, if you don’t need the money for your kids, great, put it aside for them for college. Your ex trying to guilt you for her benefit doesn’t help your kids, tell her to pound sand and do what you need to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Might be closing early on our house. I'm torn because originally it was looking like last day of the month, and i was thinking of hitting up the Avengers movie the same day after closing while the kids were still in school. If we close early, i have to find a sitter. If we close early, i have more time to take care of some repairs before we move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my wife who calls foul about seeing it without her and won't take a day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
