Been there many years ago Grant.
I left everything except my bike and my music collection.
Wouldn't it be good if you could both just walk away calmly with your own shares.....

My 14yo's mother spends most of her time looking for ways to screw more money out of me.
I currently (through CSA) have to pay her $1700 / mth for 1 child.
Pisses me off when my girl gets just the usual stuff, but her mum only works 2 days a wk & has a new car & attends all of the "Must do" classes, spends $1000's on PC guys coming to fix her PC cause she's too f***en lazy to figure it out herself.
+ she does a crap load of "cash" work (she a hairdresser).
So in reality, with my CSA money + her part time job + her cash money + she's also on the s/mother pension + she gets cheap rent from the Gov. She's rakin it in & I'm struggling to pay the mortgage.
My wife & I have only been out twice in the last 4yrs cause we can't afford it. My 7yo misses out on heaps of things cause we can't afford it.
Shits me like you wouldn't believe.

mate I know your pain - I am 1 year away from being free from this shit - my ex hasnt worked in 16yrs, works cash (I would have to put a PI on her to prove) I have 2 daughters they get CSA payments every month and I dont see it on thier clothes or anything else, rattles my cage all the time for more!! The only thing I can say to you is think of your children - thats the only way I have got through the last 8years of this shit (PS my oldest left home coz of her mother so that says it all) I like you struggle every month with the knowledge that she is having a better life than I am - yes she has to look after my other daughter but I pay for that - how come Centrelink hasnt ordered her to work after all these years?!?!?!? When I talk to CL they just fob it off with no real anwser its a joke - so chin up mate and try to enjoy what you have - and YES there are good women out there just hard to find, I am finally happy after all these years so ekkp positive.
Egos; everyone got one
