[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new wife brought children from a previous marriage. Not that we care, but it appears she does not receive child support for them. Then, did your EX DH have more children with her? You did the right thing by not engaging with the new wife and her vicious emails. Think how pleasant that house is. It seems obvious that their life in crumbling. Try to stay out of the fray.[/quote]

From what I know, the father is out of the picture and there's no child support there.  They have a child together, that's when she decided to stay home.  Now the child is at school and she's still home.

ex-DH is fully aware of what's going on.  He tried suggesting that DS "suck it up, we are all a family" but I chewed him out.  I also found out from ex-ILs that allegedly the stepmom suggested years ago he sue ME for alimony because I had a good and stable job and "it's just not fair to everyone.  She has 1 kid and WE have 3." He squashed that idea.

I did offer him to drop CS altogether if he's struggling.  He said "I'll take it under consideration", meaning he will discuss it with his wife.  I've already called my lawyers to be prepared. I am not taking any chances, I will not be taken advantage of.  [/quote]

If he is working, he isn't going to get alimony.  She sounds nuts but you've got to work around her.  My husband's ex took him to court right after we got married for an increase in alimony and child support based off of the household income (i.e. mine).  The judge removed all but one of the kids from child support as both were over 18 and it should have stopped and removed her from allimony as it was scheduled to end a few years before.  So, they increased for one kid but it was far less than what he had voluntarily continued to give her to be decent. Its all by formulas. 
I would not let him drop CS.  If you don't need the money put it in a college fund. [/quote]

It's not the alimony that's the issue; it's the OP's big mouth could open her up to paying child support if her ex wises up and figures out that she is making way more than him. If it's a wash, then it's a wash, but I don't know her finances beyond her bragging about how much more money she has than her ex (which is weird frankly).[/quote]
