It's nice to know that I'm still able to predict my ex so well. My prediction that if I were to legally marry Bill that my ex would try to capitalize on it financially has already been set into motion. Our finances are already thin due to where we live. It's a constant source of irritation to Bill that my income is being garnished as it is.
My daughter text me asking for my legal last name and contact info. Supposedly this was so that she could register for the local high school for next year. This surprised me for a couple of different reasons.
The first is that she hasn't even finished this year yet. I didn't think it was neccesary for her to get signed up this early for the public high school since they are pretty much obligated to accept her as a student. She did say something about not being able getting into an advanced math class since her friends had told her that it was already full. Maybe she wants to sign up for advanced science in lieu of math.
The other thing, the one that set the warning bells off in my head, was that my son managed to go there 4 years without my info. Their father is considered the custodial parent during the school year. Why would she need my info now (or ever really) if all the grades and other correspondance go to her dad?
I called her on the phone and she repeated her request. I could hear my ex in the background. I'm pretty sure this is a ploy to find out if we did indeed get legally married so that if we did he can haul me back to family court to try to include Bill's income toward the children's child support. Meanwhile Bill is going nuts on my side of the conversation.
This whole thing was stressful to both my daughter and I. We, the "victims", were having to deal with the two men who are angry with each other, but not willing to talk. I told my daughter that I didn't think she needed my info, but if so to see what my son used and use the same stuff. I also asked her to send the name of her counselor and phone number so that I could talk to her personally.
I don't have a lot of faith in the counselor. This is the same school that allowed a teacher to run my son out of a class he liked because he drew something on the chalk board that the teacher was offended by. The school who's principal is more concerned that he be addressed by his proper title than that he get a resolution to a problem that both side can live with.
I called the school and left messages. I'll be amazed if she calls back. If she does I'm going to make it clear to her that any information I provide for the school be kept away from my ex. If I find out that he has managed to get my info from them I will find an attorney and sue the school system.
All I want is to be rid of him. The fact that I have to live with a temporary marriage because he can't stay out of my finances is bad enough. To use the kids to get info on me is beyond despicable. I'm having a pretty rough day. It was bad enough just having to sit down and figure out the bills last night. To live with the threat of more income being stolen is almost unbearable.
