[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 547955, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this. Obviously, I wouldn't be asking for your opinions if I wasn't already second guessing the idea, haha. E is a hard worker and takes side jobs whenever possible. However, he lacks a bit of self confidence in finding a better paying job, he has child support that he pays ($150/week). They share difficult child's new car.
