Lockjaw is spot on. I too had custody of my kids, my house, and child support when she was working. She was a train wreck and it was an uncontested divorce so I was lucky in that respect. No telling what she owed me in back child support, not worried about it anymore kids are 30 and 28 now. If you are the better parent you can't put a dollar amount on the welfare of your kids. The kids will realize when they are old enough to understand who loves and truly cares for them. Best of luck.
