Is She the A****e for Demanding Lower Child Support?
Our leading lady found herself in a tough spot when her husband’s child support for his son from a previous marriage started eating up 85% of his salary. After an accident left her unable to work, they barely scraped by with help from family. She had a heart-to-heart with her hubby, arguing that their shared son deserved the same quality of life as his half-brother. The husband reluctantly agreed to request a reduction in child support, which the judge granted. ⚖️ Now, the ex-wife is calling her a monster for “knowingly lowering” the stepson’s quality of life. The internet has some strong opinions on this one, so let’s dive into the juiciest responses!
