Q: Soontobe ex husband refusing to take care of children as long as I have a specific friend in my life can he do this?
He is refusing to help support them because my friend is a male and he believes there is more to him and I than there truly is. I don't feel like I should have to abide by this because my friend is here just to help me pick up the slack that my soontobe ex is refusing to help with.
A: Even if you were/are having an affair that doesn't excuse your husband from financially supporting the children you both share. If he refuses to support his kids on his own initiative then you likely will need to bring the courts into this.
A: Take this problem to the attorney helping you with your divorce. If you are attempting a do-it-yourself divorce, this should be a big red flag that you dealing with a person who is making up the rules as he goes along so need to get a Family Law attorney involved now.
