Chef's Former Co-Worker

thinkthrice's picture

Received a letter from his boss (Chef's old place of employment) that he was no longer on the hook for CS.  The garnishment will stop!  And that Chef's former co-worker (we'll call "Kyle") doesn't have to carry kids on his insurance plan any more!!

Of course Kyle was ELATED!   Kyle had TWO kids, never moved on romantically and often went over to the BM's house to fix stuff for her ALTHOUGH she was shacking up/'remarried to a new guy for YEARS!!  So basically, Kyle kept under the radar until CS ended.  WHO KNOWS if he will now get romantically involved now that CS is done!!!  He basically did the BM's bidding just to keep a (ATM-like) relationship with his kids going!

Chef has got a LOOONNNNNNG way to go still--SD won't be 21 until November of 2019 and YSS won't be 21 until January 2024!!!

You gotta love good old NY state! Hell, I was graduating college (which I took out loans for), working two part time jobs, and living in my own place, paying my own way. I think paying support till age 21 is ridiculous, and this is coming from a BM who received it!

in NYS back in the eighties!  Now the pendulum has swung the other way where kids can stay on their parent's insurance until AGE 29!! I kid you NOT!  And CS can go past 21 if skid is still in college (aka failing their way through semester after semester) and is labeled "learning disabled" (read: never parented properly and living in a fantasy world)

At just turned 18, I was married and supporting my husband financially after he decided to quit his job shortly after the weddding and rely on good ol' workhorse thinkthrice!!  I had a kid at just turned 21 and was a single parent, raising my daughter on two jobs--same thing when my son came along from marriage number 2!!  I was all of 27 then!!

I'm in NYS too - waiting for sk's to turn 21 so SO's child support can stop.  Not because I think he shouldn't support his kids either - just because BM is so horrible and uses everyone she can.  SD18 doesn't even live with BM anymore but BM still gets the support and doesn't give one dime to SD18.  I rather SO give the money directly to his daughters.   Surprisingly though - a judge just gave permission for cs to be reduced because SO added the girls to his medical insurance this year.  Wait till BM finds that out!
