Divorce can be tough, especially when kids are involved. A 36-year-old mom is in the middle of a heated battle with her ex-husband over child support payments. The ex-husband, who only sees their two daughters every other weekend, requested a re-evaluation of the child support amount. Little did he know, the new calculation would double his payments due to his recent pay raise and his ex-wife’s decreased income. Now, he’s demanding a smaller monthly sum, but this mom isn’t backing down.

After seeking advice, this mom decided to stand her ground and demand the full child support amount.

She didn’t back down, and had her lawyer remind him that the money belongs to the children, not him. Will he try to take legal action against the kids’ fund? Only time will tell. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
