Child support

[analievelyn]

My feelings on child support change the older I get. Recently learned about the conceit of parental alienation and the limited breakdown makes me think that having the kids households be as equal as possible is ideal.

Did any of yall grow up with 2 different lifestyles bc your parents split and had shared custody

I did, it was really weird to switch back and forth between my mom’s house where we were kind of middle class to my dad’s where we lived in public housing and were super poor. My mom paid child support (and probably alimony now that I think of it, since my dad was mostly unemployed while they were married) but the difference between households was still jarring. I even had different clothes and toys at each place.

it was bullshit

I make less money than my ex. But my ex is the one with the "poorer" lifestyle due to bad money management and personal choices. If he gets a raise it's the same deal, he still lives paycheck to paycheck. My kids never lack anything at my house because I planned and scrimped that way. Kids shouldn't have to feel a stark difference, but sometimes more money doesn't fix the problem.

LMAOOO sorry but your side comment is cracking me up rn

[anterrabre]

Nah, she deserves a good dragging for what she did.

[mrscantelope]

Not that anyone was asking me to, but I am not going to feel sorry for someone who makes plenty of money having to pay money so their children live a comparable lifestyle regardless of which parent has custody that week (or however the breakdown is).

My friend's ex, who is a dentist who has no money troubles begrudges every cent in childcare he sends her, meanwhile he has her do all the school pick ups and drop offs even on HIS custody days and also childcare when he is at work so that he doesn't have to hire anyone, She also didn't go after alimony (which she could have since she worked and put him through dental school) and is scraping by going to school full-time so she can get a job to support herself. He acts so put upon that he has to give up some of his money and it is like, cry more you bitter MRA.

[mrscantelope]

I tried to encourage her to fight him for more but she just wanted it done. She was hoping that her not asking for more would keep their relationship civil. It hasn't worked and it is rough on the kids but my friend doesn't care about the money at all (would have waived child support if she could) and just wants things as calm and peaceful as possible for the kids.

I personally think she covers for him too much (like when he doesn't show up to the kids' events or how she will let him change plans last minute in a way that fucks with her schedule but means the kids don't realize the is dropping the ball with them) but I also don't have to interact with a bitter, irrational ex so I know she is just doing what she's gotta do.

[originaru]

on one hand, i think your friend should be going after him for what she and the kids deserve. but i also think kids are pretty perceptive and sooner or later they're going to realize the shitty things their dad did and it will shape their relationships with him tbh.

I kind of feel like Olivier should be the one paying Gabriel tbh. Would he not still be working like he was if Olivier hadn't (allegedly) trashed his face?

[a_files06]

Last time I saw a pic of him he looked normal. I just think modeling isn't going well for him

[anterrabre]

Naw, he used to be a top model before that happened. The incident with Oliver really fucked with his career momentum because it took a long time for everything to heal correctly, and his nose is still kinda fucked up. I most definitely would have sued Oliver's bitchass.

[gloeden2]

I may be mis-remembering but didn't it go to court and didn't Olivier end up settling or paying him something? That's what I kind of remember. The best part was it killed off his relationship with Halle because the courts and press were, like, "This guy is out of fucking control, how can you let him near your kid, woman?" That was hilarious. And correct, in my opinion. She has the worst taste in men.

How old is her daughter now?

[helenrdemeter]

13-years-old, apparently. 😬

I feel so bad for her in this situation. I hope the parents are TRYING to keep this knowledge away from her or, at the very fucking least, gently explain the situation so she knows it from them and not the internnet.

[yurasama_love]

Yeah. That's rough. Especially those first few years. It makes me feel so bad for celebrity kids; the first thing they're going to google when they're teens is themselves and people are assholes. It must be terrible to see how nasty things got between your parents for the whole world to see

[helenrdemeter]

The Matilda actress ain't shit to me after she showed her ass on a lot of topics but I'll never forget the Cracked article where she talked about finding her kidself on a foot fetish site and her parents being unable to stop reporters from asking her questions on a sexual assault(?!) case. Hollywood is so fucking predatory to children fuuuuck.
