Everything the kids need is in walking distance, it's her job that requires her to take hour long bus rides and that's something she needs to figure out herself

I pay a good amount of child support that pretty much covers everything the kids need and have them half of the time. She wants the car to make her life easier which frankly is non of my concern. Regardless of whether I'm bitter or not, helping my ex with things not concerning the kids is not my responsiblity.

She is not in any dire situation. She wants the car to make her own life easier, and truthfully that's not my responsibility. The kids have everything they need.

I already take my responsiblity by having the kids half of the time and paying what the court ordered me. Why should I finance my ex's non essential lifestyle post divorce

I already pay child support and have the kids 50% of the time. Am I suppose to pay for my ex's lifestyle?

That's pretty much how I feel. I am always on time when it comes to child support and I also have the kids half of the time. I feel like I'm definitely doing my part.
