Abe, no consolation, but I just heard the exact story from a guy who works for me. Divorce was 11 years ago, son is now 15. Ex just sued for more child support. $40,000 later (20k ea, ex got it pro-bono, my guy liquidated savings), and when it was over she settled for an extra $63 per month. Yeah. The boy is old enough now to see through the bs, and is smart enough to figure out that his mom is full of crap, is vindictive and manipulating, he doesn't get the child support spent on him and the money spent on legal could have paid for college.
After we get back from this deployment he'll have custody back by the boy's choice.
Sad how some women cheat their ex put of involvement in a child's life, and cheat themselves out of involvement in the child's adult life once the child become old enough to figure out the truth.
