Yeah I get pissed but there is nothing I can do about it.....I don't think I would be half as pissed if I knew his kids were getting the money but they aren't. She uses it on drugs for her and her out of work boyfriend.

My sister has that problem. Her husband owes child support every month and does the best he can to pay it, but there have actually been times when the court ordered more child support then the total of his paycheck! Nevermind the fact that he has other children at home that need to eat. That said, they live in a small, rural area that has few resources. The courts are backed up, and my brother-in-law is not the picture of eloquence when he speaks. A good attorney, if they could afford it, would probably help fix the situation.
In any case, that is what happens when you marry someone with a history. Is it fair? Probably not. But you knew the circumstances when you entered that relationship.

Well, you, obviously. You knew it when you married him. Can't go back and change the rules now, unless the situation changes and he can go back to court to amend it. Half the paycheck? Either he makes very little, or there is child support involved. If so, then do you really mean to say you would wish he did not support his children? Would you then respect him more?

You knew he had to pay child support when you married him, and chances are you knew exactly how much. You can't cry foul now, he has a legal obligation to his former family and the courts. The only thing YOU can do is try to make more money yourself to create a better financial position for your husband and yourself.

you should be glad that he is paying child support and not look at it in a negative way that is really selfish for you to thing of it that way how would that kids feel if there dad did not give them money to help pay for things that the need are want? that is sad that you would even post this type of question if you did not want this to happen you should have picked some one else to be with that is sad but when you get into a relationship with someone with a past you should know what you are getting your self into and be happy that you are gaining a family. you are really sad....

You knew he had this obligation before you got married... Right?
Suck it up.
**Why is it that wifey #2 ALWAYS says, "She uses it on drugs" or some other stupid crap when talking about child support paid to wifey #1?

Yes, but only because my wife knows my ex makes twice as much as I do (six figures) and has no debt.

You play, you pay! Obviously there's a reason his paycheck goes to her...

You knew that this was happening before you married him. You can't start complaining now.
