[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, you are getting child support, you work, he works and you cannot take care of 4 kids?  Sounds like you are living above your means.  You really don't want to rock the boat with her as you could get into a costly battle.  My husband's ex did that with my husband and the judge took away 2/3rds of what was ordered instead of giving her more like she asked.  Be grateful you have the kids and pay for them.  You pay your kids, he pays his. [b]You each pay 1/2 the house expenses[/b].  Done.[/quote]

OP here.  He cannot afford to pay half, specifically because he's paying all of these expenses for his kids.

I was in this situation.  Play the long game.  For 10 yrs, I "supported" DH while he supported his kids.  Kids are now grown and out of college.  We have more than enough and a great life.[/quote]

Oh I don't know. My friend thought it would end at 18. At 30 he paid for daughter's divorce lawyer behind my friends back. Paid for her to get a rental car when she crashed...on and on it went.  He used their marital funds to support his grown kids who were losers.  Finally she divorced him before they could tap into their retirement.

Joint account for all the household bills. Each put their 50% in.  After that each can pay whatever for their own bio kids. If her husband wants to pay it all on his own then he can do a payment plan or get a p/t job. Or make the former wife pay her fair share. [/quote]
