| 70. His children continue to live regardless of the situation. Something |
|
stinks about this scenario and isn't being said. My cousin receives $500 a month from her ex husband for their two children. Based on his reportable income. Said ex husband is currently trying to prove that my cousin's terminal illness doesn't exist and that she should be forced to work. Even though she has been disabled for 9 of the 16 years of their marriage. Three doctors will come up from Ann Arbor to verify what he already knows.
It is not bleeding responsible fathers dry. It's helping take care of children...who are defenseless victims in our stupid adult battle of wills.
Two sides to every story. I suspect we're hearing an edited one here.
