    She should not have to send anything and it will not even count toward anything if she sends it. I wouldn't send any money to him if he is as bad as she says and finding any way to screw her. He'll say she never sent anything. If she can get the kids for visits she should buy them things they need and keep receipts.



    If the MPs and FAP were involved you at least have a recorded incident of it. What happened with that? Did he get charged and convicted? Or did it get dropped?

    You need to have as much evidence of his abuse as you can find. You show that you provided care for them for the majority of the marriage as a SAHM. Do not attack him in court.

    Do you have family that could help pay for a lawyer? How are you paying for college? You might have to put college on hold until this gets figured out.
    If I'm reading it right, she left the kids in his care ... 7 months ago. She's sent a very clear message to the court that she feels he's a suitable custodial parent; if she tries to use abuse in a custody battle she's likely going to come out worse than he will.

    I guess she said he only abused her. Either way she needs to figure out how to get a lawyer.

    By the way, I do realize that the concept of community property is more complex than my simple description. I kept it simple due to a lack of any sort of details.

    As to the child support; last I checked this as a forum on law and not morals. While I will agree that she is morally obligated to provide financial support for her children she isn't, currently obligated until there is a court order. This is the same thing that we tell men. It having been 7 months since she split, however, makes her case about as sound as a sieve.
