Meet a mom who's caught in a child support battle with her ex, Ryan. At 20, she became pregnant with Ryan's child despite using birth control. Ryan wanted no part in the child's life, so she asked for child support. After years of evading payments, Ryan finally started paying. Fast forward, she's now married to Kyle, a successful engineer, and they're living comfortably. Ryan wants her to drop the child support, but she refuses, as he won't let Kyle adopt their son. Is she right to stand her ground? 😤💔👩👦
