[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, one day the child support will end. Before then she needs to step up, get some kind of job, and support her kids. If not, they need to live with their dad and she needs to live with family.

The focus needs to be on transitioning her to work in retail, etc. with a low barrier to entry. Then the goal needs to be to get her a govt job or similar that it is hard to be fired from. Universities can be good too. If it comes with a pension, more the better.

ANY PROPPING UP IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. The status quo is unworkable now and when kids get to be 18. Don't prolong this stage.

What type of work did she do before?

Any mother who is willing to have her kids live in poverty due to laziness or untreated mental illness needs to have visitation. Don't forestall a reality check, OP. She won't be homeless, she has family. The kids can live with dad if need be.

How is her home? Is it clean and orderly? Do the kids eat healthy food or from boxes? Are they in activities or late to school? [/quote]

Government and university jobs aren't that easy to get, especially for someone with little or spotty work history. How well does she work under stress?  [/quote]
