Re: Ethics of Child Support 2be: I don't have kids, so this is just my opinion. But even if you didn't need that money to get by, it should still be sent and put in a friggin bank account for that child to use later on... college, whatever. Just my two childless cents.
Re: Ethics of Child Support dontgetit: people have said that 2 me...Thing is when she needs college I will pay it - sometimes in life it is easier to walk away and have peace...
Re: Ethics of Child Support Freckles: Sometimes it's better to bite the Bullet and keep things as they are
If you make her mad SHE may want Full Custody of the kids just to spite you.

I once owed $75,000 and went Bankrupt it does ruin Credit for 10 years

Re: Ethics of Child Support corkscrew: You'll have to pardon my passion when I speak about this issue Fre. I am currently going through my own court battle regarding the same issue. And yes, in addition to getting more for my kids, I am "teaching him a lesson" which I know seems petty, but it just needs to be done at this point. I'm sure you'd understand if you knew my history.
Its really your decision to make, but if you can blow off the bitching she is probably going to do if you do file, then I say go for it.
And I think custody would never be completely taken away from you unless there are some other issues involved (drugs/alcohol). So I wouldn't factor that into your decision.

I think you have to consider the differences in your situations though corky. Your ex isn't in your kids day-to-day lives right? Fres' is. I think it's the kids that take the hit when there is tension between two parents who both spend a significant amount of time with the kids. Just something to consider.
