Battle Royale: My Ex Wants To Reduce His Child Support Payments

As I heard the words come out of his mouth about how he wanted to reduce his monthly child support payments, how he thought he was entitled to more than half of the New York condo we owned together and how he wanted me to chip in for college expenses, summer camps and sporting events, my mind went back to the days when he told me he loved me unconditionally.

He was like a dog in heat. He couldn't get me into bed fast enough. He wanted to explore, explore, explore. He rushed me to have kids, buy real estate and to acquire all the trappings that come along with being a successful doctor.

After years of supporting him while he was in medical school, now Bill wanted to strip me of my 20-year investment in him. His head almost did a 360-degree turn when I detailed how I planned to take what was rightfully mine.

Most of you know me as the insecure divorcee who’s clueless about my future, but when I hit the lowest low, watch out. I’m fearless and I love to express it and watch others shit.

I told Bill I had a team of legal sharks in place that were going to make sure he would be spending the rest of his life in court with me. I was ready for the fight of a lifetime and this is just what I needed to get my engines going again. Bill looked like he saw the real me for the first time.

He suddenly remembered the days when I was in the workforce and I didn't let anyone screw with me. I shocked the poor schnook into reality.Then it suddenly hit me. This wasn't Bill talking. His fiancée put those words in his mouth. That bitch.

I was ready to be the cooperative ex-wife for the sake of the kids but she had declared war on me. I was going to have to show her once and for all who wore the pants in our family of three—ex-wife, shell of a husband and wife No. 2.
