"His" money. Yeah, she took 'his' money to not be impovershed anymore.
If
there were a trustee like I've been suggesting, it'd be that she would be
able
to save a weeks' tips and wait for the next paycheck to do that, maybe a
few
days later than she did, and put 'his' money directly to the rent.
Because she
no longer had to scratch to make up for - 'his money'.

I know most, by far, situations aren't like that. But time and time
again, just
like here, I've seen that attitude in one way or another.

Although this comment is just as anecdotal as your comment, there are lots
of events that transpire which make fathers believe their CS money is being
misappropriated to cover the mother's personal expenses. A couple of
examples would be a mother who uses a lump sum CS payment after a CS
modification to fund her IRA. Or a mother who signs a state required
Uniform Expense Declaration under penalty of perjury showing expenditures at
a high-end retailer are 2/3 for the children. Or a mother who claims she
pays her live-in boyfriend as a gardener and home maintenance person.
