[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wouldn't be ok with me. Child support? Of course. Ex-wife support?  Hell no.[/quote]

Don't date divorced men with children then.[/quote]

I married a divorced man with kids. When his ex couldn't pay the mortgage (despite child support of 2800 a month) she lost her house. And we gained physical custody of the children. Grown ups support themselves.  [/quote]

You just don't get it.  There is nothing wrong with this man supplementing the mortgage on the house where his children live.  Zero.  He seems to be doing that willingly and beyond what is court ordered.

Are you really proud of yourself for gaining custody over something like "mom couldn't afford the house?"  If the judge gave you custody solely based on that, shame on him and shame on you.  [/quote]

Actually, men who get divorced and move out may decide to subsidize the mortgage in order to keep their kids in the same school district, which a parent couldn't afford on one income.  If the man pays part of the mortgage and gets part of the equity acquired over time when the house is sold after the kids move out other own, then this can be an investment and a form of child support that will return equity, not "ex-wife support".  Also some men do this because they are upside down on the mortgage and if financially able, continuing to pay the mortgage until equity is accrued so house can be sold w/o loss, is a smart move.
