Lazy Greedy Wife
by Distressed Dad
(Florida)
My wife has had custody of our 17-year-old daughter for 11 years now. I was ordered to pay child support upon divorce and my wife was given custody. I was very loyal on my payments and even gave tons extra to cover my daughter's life growing up. When the economy started heading downhill, I lost my job as a realtor. I picked up odd jobs here and there but could not and cannot make payments anymore. My wife has since remarried and had 3 additional kids with that man. He makes plenty of money but they still tell my daughter that they can’t afford her because I no longer pay them. I found out from my daughter that none of the money was ever spent on her, going towards my ex-wife's expensive clothing tastes. My daughter now works and her step father takes money from her bank account and puts it in a fund he says is necessary to raise her. She is not allowed to visit me at all and her mom and step dad threaten her that she will have to quit her job if she doesn't take more time taking care of her mom and step dads kids. I don’t know what to do to rescue her they treat her like Cinderella. She does every thing so that her mother can laze around the house... HELP!!! I don’t know what to do to save my daughter.
