Well at least we don't have to deal with BM anymore

So BM finally ditched the kids for her man.

Her abusive POS man. But whatever, to each their own I guess.

She lives in a different town than us now which is totally freakin' awesome. No more annoying texts. No more dropping kids off randomly.

Now we deal with her mother who is actually mature and civil. Someone who only contacts us ONCE a week AND it's about the kids? Holy cow.

One thing that sucks is that SO still has to pay BM child support. BM actually went to her mom's house and demanded her food stamps back or she would call the police. BM's mom told her "Then take your kids with you." She replied with "No, drop them off at SO's."
[Of course we can't have it that easy though. I wish her mom would just give them to him. She's determined to keep them with her.]

So BM took the food stamp card and spent 450 out of the 650, leaving her children with 200 for food for the month. Three kids and 200 dollars? Wow.
This is just what her mom told us the last time she dropped them off. She also said she doesn't see a penny of the CS from her.

I wish we had the money for court right now. They could be living here. Hopefully her mom gets fed up and actually DOES drop them off. Sad

I'm going to have to bring that up with SO.

The only big problem he has is that BM's mom has money. Good money.
Well, her husband does anyway. She will have an expensive lawyer and we'll just have ourselves.

I really hope she just gets fed up with having to support 3 kids at her age and brings them to us. Then all we'll have to deal with in court is BM and that will be easy because she's dumber than a box of hair. Wink

If your SO is able to provide for his kids, the amount if money grandma has shouldn't matter. She isn't the parent .

If she's so well off, and the kids are living with her, then why are they getting foodstamps? Isn't that fraud?

You'd be surprised what the court system will allow you to get away with. Our BM is living with her mom who is well off, rent free, doesn't pay utilities with the SS, owns her own business, and she still gets food stamps and medicaid.

We haven't reported her, since it is our trump card, and she gets insurance for the skid under medicaid or some other government fund thing. The threat of us reporting her has kept her at bay in terms of asking for more support/money.
