Stepmom paying CS to bio-dad who pays CS to bio-mom?

[VNL]

I tried to be a self-supporting person, Divorced in 1986, I only received $100 per month for 2 kids, when ex remembered to pay. I was only making $22,000k. When I entered a claw relationship with a man that had a higher income, and my youngest daughter applied for OSAP, they insisted on taking into account the claw income, even though I paid half the expenses for our living arrangment and tried not to involve him in any costs for bringing up my kids.

It does not seem to matter which level of government - when they decide that the family or household income enters into the equation they have the right to decide our lives for us. This meant that I had to budget very carefully and my daughter had to work as well, however she is now 33 and ended up being very strong, independent and financially successful, so maybe it was an excellent lesson for her.
