She's refusing. She receives more in child support a week than I do on unemployment a week plus she receives unemployment pay and she's remarried to a man that works full time for the state. She called FH to plan the bday party and didn't want to have anything to do with it except to go. She knew at the beginning of planning the party what we we were doing and didn't have a problem until we told her the cost. I know times are tough right now but her half is $125 which is less than than half she receives in child support a week. She's just being a bitch...plain and simple. Did I mention that she didn't pay anything towards her daughter's bday party?

Sorry it's a month late in responding but YES BM DID SAY SHE WOULD PAY FOR HALF....she knew where the party was going to be and she made it very clear that she didn't want to have any part of planning it but she made it clear that she would be there....which she never showed up.... FH told her before the party how much her portion was going to be and she didn't say a thing until FH and I took her portion off of her child support check. She was a MAJOR BITCH on thanksgiving...FH and I were supposed to get them at 4 pm and the shitty piece of what we call a BM would not answer a phone call, voice mail or text message...on top of that she took SD's cell phone and sent nasty messages to FH claiming to be SD. What a great role model, right?

Yes, the plans were run by her and she was told how much her portion was going to be and she didn't have a problem with it until she didn't show up and her portion was taken out of the child support check. We've seen her skip out on her portion before so now when she doesn't show up for own child's birthday party like she says she is....it's coming right off the top of her child support check. I do have to mention that she and her full-time employed husband rely on that child support check every week to pay for their mortgage that only houses my FH's 2 kids 50% of the time, but houses the ex's and her husband's 2 kids plus the two skumbags that they call themselves parents.

Child support is court ordered according to the divorce decree... She receives a percentage based on FH's best year...and I mean BEST year! Also it's based on his gross pay which means he's paying the taxes for his pay plus what his ex is receiving every week. Trust me...FH and his ex had the argument about the party money coming off the top of her check and I'll put $1000 on it that she won't go to a lawyer to get that money back....not just because she can't afford a lawyer but because I'm certain she doesn't want FH's earnings looked at right now and revieved since he's making about two thirds of what he's making now. The ex will be surprised in February though because I've been saving money up for us to get an awesome lawyer to represnt us and take her to the cleaners! She's going to be getting about half of what she's been getting the past two years. I hope she finally learns her lesson that she shouldn't cheat on her husband and kids over and over when she can't afford to have her kids 50% of the time.... Even though I do have to admit that both of the skids said they want to live with FH and I.

No, he gives a check to her every week. Trust me...it will be going through the court from now on...whatever he makes her support will be based off of that....that bitch won't be getting anymore than she AND HER HUSBAND deserve.
