Glad that works out for you Queen, sounds like you have it down pat.  |
I do. My ex and I don't get along, but we manage to figure everything out for the kids, and he knows that they are taken care of. Trust me, I am the one who takes them to every appointment, school shopping, etc. and god forbid I ask him to, he's too busy..he also knows that his child support doesn't even cover how much I pay for groceries for the kids each week, so he's not gonna complain if I spend some on myself once in a while. I'm not even saying that I do this often, but when I put my money in the bank and then put his child support in the bank, they both go towards what we need at that time or what bills we need to pay at that time, if there is extra we all get something for ourselves.
