Guess you just have to accept that your dad is a dick and probably is going to leave you and his "old family" behind and go off with his new family.-Sh1fty- wrote:
In this situation I think it's appropriate that he should pay for his children to receive clothing, food, and an education (college or w/e). The point is, they're still that person's children.
My mother should also get a job and help with these but he's still the father.
21st century morals are so fucked up. Don't refer to them.
In Aus the parent with custody can't fuck off and take the kids off more than 100km afaik without signing a release form (happened for my mom and dad when they got divorced).
I think it'll be better if you speak to your dad and say the situation is grim for you and your sis and he'd probably come to his senses a lot more than if he's talking to your mom. Divorced parents usually hate each others guts (especially at this stage of the divorce) but would still love their kids. YOU have to talk to your dad about financials, not your mom.
Your dad should be legally responsible to provide child support until you are 18.
