[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 750 woman: it sounds like the problem is you supported your partner more than was fair. That enabled him to give money to his daughter that really should have gone to household expenses. So your mistake was allowing him to pay such a low share of your joint expenses. [/quote]

I'm guessing she agreed to that amount when he had a mandatory child support obligation with perhaps a view that he would contribute more when that ended.  Agreed though that part of the issue is that she enabled him by not requiring him to contribute more when CS ended.[/quote]

He probably continued to pay the same amount as when he paid child support.  The trust probably had nothing to do with him.[/quote]

Right, I mean I'm guessing that PP prob thought he would direct some or all of that money towards joint expenses.  Of course, they should have had an agreement in that regard to avoid misunderstandings which it sounds like is what happened.[/quote]

It sounds like her expenses, not joint.  [/quote]
