Child support drama: When new families collide

When an ex-husband starts a new family and wants to lower his child support, things can get tense fast. One mom shared how her ex, now remarried with more kids, tried to cut support payments, arguing his growing household needed the money. But she stood firm, reminding everyone that child support is for the original kids—not to cover his new responsibilities.
