I'll keep this as short as possible. Please no flames.
To sum up the last few years, FIL (44) cheats on MIL, with A (18). FIL leaves MIL and they decide to get a divorice. FIL somehow manages to get the car and the house due to some miracle to him. FIL marrys A when she turns 20. MIL now lives in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment with BIL (9) and SIL (15) and struggles to make ends meet everyday. She was a SAHM for the last 20 years, so finding good paying work in this economy is obviously tough for her. FIL runs his own business so he can easily hide how much money he is making. He has not paid child support since the divorce. He takes MIL to court and they rule that his financial situation is strained and he does not have to give her what he owes her.
This week we find out that he is having his vasectomy reversed and A is going through fertility treatments. And they are paying for this all out of pocket since neither of them have insurance.
Tell me this is not f'd up!?! I'm just tired of seeing MIL and her kids get the short end of the stick. They are such good people and deserve so much more.
Re: Correct me if I'm wrong here. (FIL Vent)
I really wish it would make a difference. We have tried to talk to him before it got this bad, and he always came out with the "you just don't understand, what A and I have is SO special".
I just don't think anything is special enough to hurt your (ex)wife and children so much over.
FIL just tells us that we are the only people who aren't okay with the situation and we need to just get over it. But everyone else is shaken up about it as well...he is just in denying it. At this point we just avoid him...but when I found all of this out it just made me so angry!
What a douche.
Oh.My.God. PLEASE tell me you are joking.
This man should not reproduce any more children, until he can take care of the ones he has and give the mother some assistance.
I know, it's ridiculous. I honestly believe that something screwy is going on with the whole court situation. FIL has got way too lucky on too many occasions. A is a very sneaky person, who is in a line of work where she has a lot of day to day contact with people high up in the court system in the county it is being processed in. To make it even more obvious that something is going on, both MIL and FIL live in "L" county and have been for the past year and a half. But all child support goes through "F" county because FIL lived there for a short time after he and MIL split. MIL tried to have it switched to L county but they wouldn't do it...which makes NO sense whatsoever.
I really wish this were MUD BTW. *sigh*
That's just all out dirty.
