[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 want to how the family is "living comfortably" with children, and yet not spending any money on the kids. The kids aren't living in the "comfortable" home? They aren't being fed? They don't ride in the vehicles, or go to the school associated with the "comfortable" neighborhood?

Those things are his responsibility too.

Yes, but the kids work to pay their stuff and bike or get rides.  Mom does not drive them anywhere except a rare occasion.  She refused to get the youngest braces as she had to pay half out of the money she gets from dad and drive to appointments.  It’s not a fancy neighborhood.  And, public is free.  They aren’t allowed activities.  We offered to pay as long as we can pay directly since mom kept the money when we sent it to her many times upon request.  [/quote]
