"NTA Interesting how she asks for a 'united front' when it's her a** in the fire, but she was only too glad to divide you and your daughter to suit her needs. No, I don't think you should. Mandy is getting to that age where the gleaming shiny exterior of her parents needs to be stripped away for the reality, and sometimes that reality is that one parent is a genuine parasite. Just to be clear, Mandy isn't playing anyone against anyone. After all, it would be her choice ultimately who she wants to live with depending on state laws and the state of family court in your region. I'll also add that she's pretty much right that mommy dearest needs that child support to support *herself* more than her daughter needs her support. At this point it sounds more like you're just not actively stopping Mandy, but not actively encouraging her either. Inaction is sometimes the best action."
