My Husband Refused to Divorce Me to Avoid Paying Child Support
I Taught Him a Hard Lesson
I overheard my husband, Peter, telling a friend he stayed married only to avoid child support. Fifteen years of marriage, three kids, and he treated our family like a financial arrangement. That was the moment I knew I had to act.
Being a mom to Emma, 12, Jake, 10, and Sarah, 8, is my world. I built my life around them while Peter resented my success. That Tuesday, I heard him laughing about leaving me for someone younger while dodging responsibility.
I called a divorce attorney and gathered evidence: flirty messages, gifts, even an engagement ring he bought another woman. The kids testified, sharing his neglect.
The judge ruled in my favor: full custody, the house, most assets, and spousal support. Peter lost everything he tried to control.
Peter tried to use me to dodge responsibility. In the end, his own choices became his most expensive mistake—and we gained our freedom.
