I took the raise so that DH doesnt have to pay more child support

DH and I work for the same company. The higher ups wanted one of us to be promoted and get a raise. They obviously knew we are married and wanted us to work it out between us. They say in another year or so the other will get the same promotion.

We decided that I would take it so that DH does not have to pay more child support. If he gets a raise that is just more money that BM gets out of him and he isnt willing to do that. He already pays her $800 a month which I think is BS (custody is 50/50 and the kids are on our health insurance). With the raise it would be more like $1200 a month.

Next year when they want to give him the promotion he will probably take it but at least for now we can save a little money.

So that is my "confession".

Why exactly? It makes the most sense for us and it will save us about 5 grand in a year.

It is 5 grand that will actually go towards the kids. We were thinking a nice vacation

Why should BM get any more support than she already does?

Yes. It is because he makes more than BM. She doesnt have a job.
