BM Off the payroll-UPDATED

buttercookie's picture

Our BM hasn't had child support for 2 years, she has been collecting alimony since the divorce. Sept 1st she is off the payroll Smile As long as hubby's work stops taking it out. His work has continued to take money out for other employees past the time allowed. Said employees tracked their ex's down and settled it themselves. Hubby and I won't be doing that we will go after his employer for breaking the law if that happens, I doubt it will because I personally know his HR lady and she knows I'm on the ball. Anyhow it feels so good knowing that she won't be getting anymore money soon. Smile She may just have to get a job like the rest of us. She works part time now with summers and weekends and holidays off.She brags she don't have to work in the summer. Ha guess next year she'll be working. Smile
UPDATE- Even though it was in the divorce decree that alimony stopped at 5 years we did need to get our attorney to take it back to court so husbands work would get the permission to stop the deduction. Ended up costing us our vacation money and we ended up sitting home this year but it was well worth it. Attorney said husband did not need to go to court, which was yesterday. Today husband got the call that it went through and the paperwork is in the mail. Husband gets paid bimonthly so she never got anything this month like she shouldn't have. Thank you to the person who told me to do this. I figured it'd have to be done but with your reassurance I was able to calmly talk to husband and have him go to the attorney and get this done before she got a single dime she didn't deserve. I love this place. I'd thank you by name but I can't see it while editting this.

Ugh 12K a year for GG on his 37K salary a year.

He's got a looonnnnng way to go. Oldest doesn't turn 21 until six more years. And then he'll be losing his tax deduction for the one out of three in three more years as they don't rotate (Behemoth claims two skids and he claims the oldest)

GREAT to have BM finally off the gravy train!!

I plan on talking to husband about this, this is a sore subject in our house. Strangely its me who is calm about it. Were not talking huge payments like what we were paying towards child support that didn't support the child its just more she's getting paid for nothing. Hell when we were paying support she'd yell at my youngest SS for having a second bowl of Aldi cereal and the man child was severly underweight. She didn't think child support should go towards supporting her child after all she was a divorced woman :eyeroll: It just feels good knowing she's not gonna get anything from us anymore and what she gets paid is exactly the difference in pay since I lost my job and had to take a lower paying one after taxes so it'll balance us out to where we were before my job loss.

Congrats, buttercookie!!

I'm always SO happy to read a post like this!!! It gives the rest of us some inspiration to "hang in there" and that it DOES END, EVENTUALLY.

BM here absolutely lives off the massive CS$$ my FDH pays her - meanwhile, we share true joint 50/50 physical custody of 2 fskids - so the effect is that FDH supports TWO households (ours and hers). BM works only 2-3 days/week, 8 hr days, and she has only been doing this for about 1.5 years now (she's almost 45 yrs old and has NEVER worked a full-time job a day in her life!). Have I mentioned that the fskids are FSD16.5 & FSS13.5, so she SHOULD have been working full-time for MANY YEARS now once they were old enough to be in school full-time. But nope! She enjoys collecting her biweekly CS$$ and sitting on her ass riding my FDH's coattails because she's LAZY, LAZY, LAZY!! Total entitlement queen to the max!

I'm SOOOO happy for you, buttercookie, that your BM's Gravy Train has FINALLY reached its final destination and has STOPPED!!!

Whatever the amount you are now NOT paying anymore, I hope you ENJOY it yourselves. On September 1st, I hope that you & DH go out and CELEBRATE with some of that money!!!!
