My husband pays CS for his 2 kids, plus almost 100% of all "extra" expenses.
She lives in a bad part of town and doesn't spend any money on the kids because she used it all to go to University for herself (she was already employable and quit a good job to study more).
So now she finally has a job again (after about 8 years of not working or school) and says she is making good money. My husband suggested that they each put aside $200/month for the kids for future university fees etc.
Her response "No, I am banking the CS now ($900/month) becasue YOU have a house, so I deserve to have one too".
Why anyone thinks they "deserve" a house when they haven't worked for 8 years (even though young and employable) is beyond me, but nevertheless, my question is this:
She kept the kids poor by going to University and now she has ADMITTED she is not using the money for the children, but saving it for herself to buy herself a home. The kids are NOT being looked after properly and are teenagers that will not be there too much longer.
Is there anything we can do, or does this sense of entitlement she has mean we just have to sit back and watch the money sent for the children being used for her? And why do they call it child support. This sounds like SS to me.
