- I have no objection to paying to support my son. I object to having
- to pay $800.00 for the 16 days a month h3e spends with my ex. If she
- can't (read WON"T) support herself, It's NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM. She
- divorced me to spend time with her boyfriend (who dumped her) Why
- should I have to pay because she was unwilling to work? Give me my son!
