    • Open Child Support & Custody

      Separated from my husband. In the beginning he treated the kids and I like DIRT,just to prove to "ow" that he was loyal to her. I have not filed for child support or spousal. I am scared. He says he will stop paying the morgage if I do ask for support. He says He doesnt care of I ask for the exact amount that he is paying for the morgage. I am disabled, house wife with two kids. He owns his own business (with no business licence) and he has a very high paying job. Got her pregnant,twice.
