Dear 'pursuing happiness',
It's amazing how people imagine to know everyone's personal situation...maybe you are friends with the ex?
Let me just say that the ex had started keeping the kids more and becoming difficult only after she discovered that I was serious with someone. She was already on her way to fighting for primary care.
The distance from my ex's town to my office was approx 2.5 hours one way, hence 5 hours of driving per day. People were being let go for not coming into the office every day and I was going to be one of them if I did not do something. I moved in order to keep my good-paying job which is currently supporting my ex's lifestyle and not so much my kids. Losing my job would not have been to anyone's benefit, and trying to find another job in my field in that town would have been impossible.
I have no problem paying child support, however, I work hard for a living and feel that I should have a right to know how that money is being spent. It is my kids that tell us what goes on in that house, and that their mother is constantly denying them basic things and telling them she does not have the money. This includes basic things like lack of food in the fridge on many occasions among other things.
She is the one who wanted a divorce and I have every right to move on with my life. My new wife works full time and does not expect me to take care of her or my step kids...she has always been quite self-sufficient.
Can you tell me a bit about your situation? Are you a payor, recipient or neither?
