It's over. No more child support....

My millionaire ex got her last "child support" payment this month. At last the leach has fallen off my jugular. All my kids had moved out......I was making payments on an empty nest.

YAY for me!

5, 6, 7, 8 - "No more alimony!" As always there is a scetch in 2 1/2 men that covers it.

I raised my 3 kids on my own and I never received one cent from my ex because she stayed unemployed the whole time.
Her BF who had two kids wasn't paying support either.

Credit to you for supporting your kids & doing the right thing. Good luck for the future Joe Bob.

Until my youngest turned 21 - my ex always accused me of not paying enough. The line that I got "well, I will just take you back to court" sent shivers up my spine.

I don't hear that anymore...............what a relief!

I'm sure it is for you.

There is absolutely no legal requirement for CS to go to the kids. In many cases, CS is simply a business model.

I think he means she's a millionaire 'because' he paid her.



Congrats JB!

The old fashioned way, she inherited it.......she quickly remarried. The FNG has the same first name and similar background as I do. Saves on confusion during sex...that is if she puts out, frigid twit that she morphed into.

CB is correct again, CS goes to the collecting Ex spouse/parent and they spend however on what ever they want. Congrats OP, kids are growing...

It's fine to congratulate him because he feels better. It's no reflection on anything but that.

One out of three of my daughters talk with me. The ex poisoned them. The one that DOES was tossed out of the clan for having an unacceptable fiancee. I am happy with the status quo. My last item on my bucket list is seeing her grave and expressing my condolences with a full bladder....
