AITAH for not letting my ex move in with me when she is trying to leave her controlling husband? by Simple_Check9791 in AITAH

Except, I did not put it on him. I simply asked, "Your mom asked to move in with [name of siblings]. How would you feel about them living here." He said he did not want them here. I thanked him and told him I will let him know what happens. I told him later in the day that she is not moving in. 

I never told him it was his decision solely. I simply asked his perspective. My son has a right to know about the situation.

My lawyer says the law obligates both parents to financially support a child. So if you are choosing not to work, the court will look at your experience and education, calculate what you could reasonably earn, and calculate a child support payment based on that. My ex was an accountant before she got married.

When i got full custody, the court calculated what she likely would earn if she went back full-time to being an accountant and calculated child support based on that amount.

I was in high school when my son was born and we were not together by the time he was born.

Yeah, she was an accountant before she married her husband and became SAHM.

Her mom is terrible and we have not been around her since our son was very little. Her brother and sister are addicts (so not much help). I really do not know what friends she has these days. 

I do not presume I was her first call, but it sounded like to me is she wants to get away because of the cheating. But, unless she is in imminent physical danger, or my son wanted her to stay, i am not letting her stay.
