[quote=Anonymous]Is it worth it feeling this resentful over a fairly small amount on money? You said that your husband makes $75k, and his ex makes about 2/3rds of that, so about $50k. Plus, she’s not married and he is - to OP, who seems to make a decent salary. I mean, given the facts of this, how much child support is the court really going to award? Is is even worth the court costs, let alone dealing with a very difficult person? Maybe it is, maybe not. Personally I’d be ticked and might want to force the ex to pay, just for the principle of the thing...but the fact is, even if does go after the ex, the resulting amount certainly isn’t going to be enough to get him anywhere caught up on retirement. So no matter what he does, the basic problem remains that OP is in much better financial shape than her husband. If they want to stay together, it sounds like they need to figure out a long-term financial plan that is realistic and fair for both of them.[/quote]
