Does anyone know if this status has an impact on spousal support?

The children in question are 'our' or should I say 'my' grandchildren as he doesn't bother with them.

I have no choice but to support the kids, their Mother (our kid) is a drug user and the Dad is unable to support the kids.

The kids and the Dad live with me. I pay all the bills. I live in PA, I would hope my supporting the grandbabies would factor in..my lawyer told me it's my choice to support them....I don't agree with that..would it be better for the kids to be in the 'system' and having folks paid to take care of them or them living with their Grandmother?

I should mention that the estranged one lives in a house that I also own with his paramor.(sp?) I could have had her out of the house within the first 30 days of her living there..I left them alone..he doesn't want me so why bother him?

In PA he won't be able to get alimony (something I brought up to my lawyer) as he does live with someone...outside of the marriage....so why shouldn't her income come into play for spousal support? Is it my fault he was either fired or layed off every 5 years for every job he ever held and I kept the same job for 20 years..and now I am raising the grandchildren?

Should I take the grandchildren with me to the court hearing? Just to show him that if he does get support from me..he is taking away from 3 small children who need me? Or will the domestic officer look down on that?

Do you currently have legal custody of the kids ?

Why on earth would you consider using children like that? They have no place at court. And they have no bearing on your case at all. You don't even have custody of them. Their father does.

What you can do is insist on their father supporting them along with their mother.
