My(32f) Boyfriend (32m) Has Been Going Through A Divorce For Over 2 1/2 Years And Now The Ex Is Trying To Involve Me In It

Card image cap

Okay so my boyfriend let's call him G, has been going through a really nasty divorce/custody case, let's call his ex M. They have one child together well call them A.

I've been with G for almost two years and we just had a baby unexpectedly. G is fully retired from the military and stays home with the baby while I work I have a great career that is the perfect work/life balance so it didn't make sense for me to stay home and he go to work(he also already had his career and there's no need for him to continue to work after being deployed and what not), he pays child support every week for A even before it was court ordered.

M has been nothing but combative and refuses to come to any agreement for a divorce. She keeps contesting and won't agree to any custody agreement other than us only see A on the weekends. We do now see A on the weekends but G is wanting more as he should be able to see his child more than twice a week. M has no job and lives with a family member. I make good money and Gs retirement is pretty decent. Now G doesn't have much left over money for extras once the bills and child support is paid, so I'm the one who buys A all of their clothes, shoes, school supplies and what else A may need. I have absolutely no problem doing so and have never complained, I make more than enough for all of us, but I will not pay for M to live. I do purchase mother days gift, birthday or Christmas gifts from A to M, also with no complaints as it's for the child and it makes them happy.

Now that the judge is really pushing to get their divorced finalized as it's been almost 3 years of a constant battle, M wants to motion for my financial statement. I have no problem providing my statement as long as my income can't be used for child support, I feel like I contribute more than enough without hesitation. Like I said I will not pay for M to live while she has no job.

Can my income be used legally? We are in Massachusetts if that matters
