Hi guys, I'm a mom who is certainly not any richer because of DCS. My children do get support but I also work full-time and take care of them on my own. The ex is going on trips to Hawaii with his girlfriend and buying her everything her heart desires. My son just asked him to help with purchasing a car and he said no. My daughter needs braces and even though they are insured under their father's health plan, it doesn't cover orthodontics. So...he told me that he pays enough, he doesn't have to do anythimg more (legally) so if the kids need anything else, they need to get it from me--he's done. When I call DCS to ask ANY question, my case worker could care less. DCS is a pain--for all of us.
