I understand I may have had a ton of backlash on my previous post.
Ive decided not to move.
But now I have another dilemma. I need opinions.
My ex husband and I have been divorced since 3/13/18.
In the divorce decree it says that he is to pay $420 a month for both of my boys (13yrs and 16yrs old).
By calculation, he has paid one month of that since our divorce.
So for 85 months, I have not received a thing.
He is in their lives and we have 50/50 custody but they live with me and have lived with me since we divorced.
He is on his 3rd marriage. He has a good job and his wife is an RN.
We get along for the most part and his wife gets along with me well.
But I do struggle financially. Is it worth going after? I feel like this will lose the good coparenting strategy we have.

My friend has 50/50 custody and because the time is equally split no money changes hands in terms of maintenance but they go halves on things like school trips, swimming lessons etc etc
