A woman, whose husband’s ex-partner is struggling financially, is questioning whether she is in the wrong for not offering financial support. After her husband’s income was reduced due to a car accident that left him disabled, the woman covered all expenses and child support payments.
However, when her husband’s ex-partner’s financial situation became dire, the couple decided they could no longer offer her additional financial support. The ex-partner took them to court, and a judge ruled that the ex-partner must pay child support and insurance reimbursements.
