[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think women in long term partnerships w kids, joint expenses and houses etc- fully mingled lives minus the “official peice of paper” consider themselves “single” mothers. I know a few and have never heard that. [/quote]

My husband's ex did.  She gets child support and alimony, plus live in boyfriend, doesn't work and screams poverty.  They live comfortably but little goes the kids.[/quote]

I'm confused.  Your husband pays child support for the boyfriend's kids?  PP said that if you're in a long term partnership with kids born to that partnership you're not a single parent.  If they're your husband's kids that's a totally different situation.

Whether or not she has a boyfriend has nothing to do with whether he owes child support.  They're his kids.  [/quote]

No, we have helped out the boyfriend’s ex-wife as the boyfriend -ap is a jerk and does not pay child support.  Husband’s ex gets child support, alimony and boyfriend’s income.  She doesn’t work.  Boyfriends kids do impact us as I’m not letting kids go without basics because their mom is struggling, low income and dad plays dad to exs kids but not his own.  [/quote]
