Fixed the title:

Woman takes extended vacation with kids on ex-husbands child support payments.

(Yes, that really is what this article is about, taking that many kids away from their father pays out A LOT of cash since they get paid by the number).

Article says, "after a recent divorce..." so she takes his kids and goes on a long vacation while dad works? How and why are these acts of extreme selfishness so praised?



> I have a child support budget of $2,400 a month and we came in under budget every month.

Doesn't sound like a lot for that many.


"she takes his kids": the court assigned custody. She didn't take anything.


Some guy out there is working his ass off while she waltzes around on a year long vacation.


In future court appointments her taking a year long vacation with the kids will be used as an argument that she should get them (and he should pay more child support) beacuse she already spends the most time with them.


And now the father has been "estranged" for over a year he's lost not just the marriage but relationships with all 15 of the kids! Brutal!


I mean it may be cheaper for her to take care of her kids on this "vacation" than to hire a nanny while she also works. Also, since when it taking care of your kids a vacation?


Seriously? Article is about the year long vacation.
