BUT... on the other spectrum... when I got divorced years ago, my ex husband filed for spousal support when I was making $12,000 a year and won. I was the "sole breadwinner" (he failed to mention his pension check he received for close to $100,000) so I was ordered to pay him $100 a month. His defense: he was an alcoholic who suffered from an anxiety disorder and was unable to work so he needed me to support him.
The whole thing is BS. Unfortunately, I dont foresee any reasonable way to fix the system.
Haha, that's unreal. Sounds a lot like my ex. He thinks I stashed money away while we were together (I have no ideas where he came up with that!). When we split up for good, his brother adivsed him on ways to get out of paying childsupport. He still thinks I have lots of money somewhere because I'm able to save it, and do useful things with it like go to school and buy food. I seriously don't think he understands that he has expensive habbits, and I don't....LOSER.
In the end, I prefer as little contact with him as possible. He usually doesn't follow through on anything anyway.
