[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Nope, we don't have a separation agreement yet. Because I trusted him and his lawyer when they said they wanted to do this amicably and avoid court. Their endless stalling, their proposals with outrageous demands that no sane person could agree to, put the lie to this. A little late, but I now see them for the liars they are.

And to think I held off sending my proposal in December, because I didn't want to wreck his Christmas.

I have supported our son 100% for the last 6 months and maybe 75% for the 6 months before that, all out of my personal bank accounts. Also I'm paying about 2x what he's paying to our daughter's college.

So yes, I absolutely see this as him stealing from me. In the the sense that he knew I'd cave and feed and clothe our son, so he just sat back and waited for me to do 100% of it.[/quote]

+1.  I agree, it's stealing.  My ex does this to me too.  Anything not mandatory (orthodontia, educational fees, camps, after school sports, etc.) is refused.  Ex knows I will pay it, and I will never tell kids that he didn't.  He lives very comfortably now and will have a very comfortable retirement.  He doesn't see this as stealing because he fundamentally doesn't see raising the kids as his equal responsibility, and he is not capable of putting another person's needs before his own.
