Financial Relief: End of Child Support

Child support is done (unless the ex goes back to court with some reason why my husband should pay for adults).  It ended in July and the case is officially closed at the end of September.

This month, we got our bills paid on time.  Boy, has that been nice. It's been hard and it's been long but it's finally over.  My husband is all for taking care of his minor children - he was always on time and paid up. However, it is a relief for our large family not to have that court order hanging over our head, struggling to make ends meet. About two years ago, we even had a bankruptcy free consultation because it was soooo hard to pay our necessary bills.  We didn't go through with the bankruptcy and we kept our heads barely above water to get to this point.

Whew.  What a relief.
