BF loaned the money to BM and she has already paid part of it back, but won't be able to pay the rest as soon as she thought. Apparently her decision to have the child support payments sent through the state have come back to bite her in the butt again. BF paid more than he was supposed to (as he almost always does) and she was counting on that check to pay him back what he loaned to her. Well, instead of paying her the whole amount, the state decided to send her what she was supposed to get - about $150 less. She called BF upset, thinking he had lied to her about the amout he sent. He explained to her that he had sent what he said he did, and even pulled up his case history on the internet to prove it. He said, "I don't know what to tell you except that's how much I sent." He suggested she call her bank and the state board of child support enforcement to find out what happened.

Because of this, she says she won't be able to pay BF back as soon as she had hoped. I thought that was sad that she was depending on his child support payment to pay him back the money he loaned her.

It doesn't hurt us to go without a few hundred dollars while she scrapes it together. Who I really feel sorry for is SS, because I know that these child support payments aren't going toward things like clothes and food, they're being used to pay BM's bills and debt that she hasn't already pushed off onto her parents.
