lindsay91313 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I'm sort of going through this now. I'm living with my soon to be ex in his parents house, which is stressful enough with my parenting constantly being undermined when they are around. But now I have to deal with the fact that he doesn't support me whatsoever financially, and I still have to legally claim him on my FAFSA forms so his income gets taken into consideration. I'm thinking it makes more sense to wait so I don't have to put his income down any longer. I'm so stressed out and confused and annoyed. We had an unwritten agreement for me to get $200 every two weeks when he gets paid for my personal expenses (I have been a stay at home mom with our 17 month old son since he was born) and I was working part time at a job that turned out to be extremely physically demanding without warning, and when things were good he agreed that it isn't a right fit for me and to just focus on our son. I also get the vibe that the energy in the house has shifted, and I'm afraid that they'll band together and try and take my son or something. I haven't even had a fresh meal in days. I'm just so sick of this, and wish I could just relax. So, I feel you. Just hang in there and I hope that it all works out for you. My husband belittles me too, saying I don't work hard enough and that I need to get my sh** together. He's gone from 7:30am until 8ish at night, and almost 9 every other Thursday. He also "works" on video shoots as favors aka not even getting paid on some weekends, and will be gone for 13+ hours each day. I'm sick of mothers not getting the credit they deserve. Raising a kid is tough, and to deny the person who is taking care of your child basic necessities like clothes and food is ridiculous. /rant Edited February 20, 2015 by lindsay91313 Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Alimony and welfare have much in common. Stick with the visitation regime . Normally communication with the kids is outlined in the decree along with any discussion in which both parents are to make decisions for the kids,education.medical or extra curricular activity.
