[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 65541, member: 84"] I personally think it's not a good idea to lie to kids. They're much smarter than we often give them credit for. And by not being honest when the opportunities arrise, you leave a question in their minds as far a communication goes in your relationship. Odds are that Tink would've eventually figured it out, and might have even resented YOU for not being honest when she asked. Definately a tough situation to be in, though. Poor kid. I'd go for the child support. Even if ex still won't pay....eventually they'll go after his tax returns. Trust me, they did it to husband when he was out of work for awhile. We just about never got our taxes back to just coming to us again. (state he was in thought they could keep right on taking it after he paid off the back support and we wouldn't notice) Sorry difficult child and you have to go thru this. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
