you are absolutely right on so many levels....I guess we will see what our lawyers plan is for moving forward on thursday, wether or not something can be done about my ex paying up remains to be seen, and I am guaranteed my children don't have to be involved is a necessity!
As far as not liking his ex goes, I've never met her, but I will say I have no respect for someone who cheats in a marriage!! Unfortunately, the courts don't care, their morals have gone to #####
As far as saddling my husband with the financial burden...I haven't been able to work for the last 2 yrs due to the fire in 2011 and I took care of our grandson last year so my oldest daughter could work, but there is hope for potential employment in the spring....trust me I'd rather be in the workforce then sitting on this computer asking people to solve my life issues!!
 
The courts are not there to enforce morals, they are there to enforce laws. Courts don't write laws, they only interpret them. Sometimes the higher level courts point out where legislation needs to be clarified but thats as far as it goes.

The law on divorce is clear; its no fault.

As for saddling your husband, by not claiming child support from the biological father, you are already burdening your husband more than he needs to. And as others point out, when it comes time for post secondary education, it can make a big difference.
 
i know the courts aren't there to enforce morals, I've already gone through a nasty divorce as well as my husband, but there does come a time and a place where the past is the past and you are allowed to move on. I am hopeful this will be over soon and understand his boys are entitled, but not for what she is asking! And definetly not without proof of expenses!!
I had a chat last night with my husband about going after my ex for support and he said it's not an option, but I will ask the lawyer tomorrow....

Good luck with this. In my opinion, you're doing the right thing. You have young kids who have a right to be supported by their biological father.
