Just another single mom of two trying to make ends meet. I was married 19 years and my ex decided that the grass was greener on the other side. Not to say that the grass on this side was green because it was dead for a long time, so in essence he had the courage to do what I didn't.  I was the enabler of the two, but the family was always put first.  What he doesn't realize is that with the continued abuse after the divorce I have turned into the person that I am today. I realized that there was strengths that I never gave myself credit for and strengths that I continue to gain every day.  For that I must thank him!

My story is like many others....one set back after another.  Basically, I started all over with nothing and keep struggling to make ends meet. He, on the other hand, has continued with his lifestyle that has not faltered a bit since our divorce. He is a business owner who quite frankly knows how to "cheat the system", and has gotten away with it for years. His lifestyle is completely written off though the corporation and is now claiming that I should pay him child support because his earnings show much, much less than mine.

I am asking anyone out there who has been in the same position as me or knows of another mom that has to please help me. I need resources or leads to prove that he is in the wrong. My kids deserve so much more and I need to know that I gave it my best shot at giving them just that! I will continue to provide for them no matter what happens because I firmly believe that tough times don't last, but tough people do!!!
