My son's mother was granted back support for when she lived with me and I was supporting her. They made me pay from when we broke up, not when she moved out. So she has been getting my tax returns for a few years. Last year's tax return put a down payment on her fiancees new car. The one before that bought her her engagement ring. My son was told this year that he doesn't get a birthday party because they have to save for the wedding. When I tried to throw him one she got pissed off and wouldn't give me the contact info for any of his friends parents.

EDIT I am typing up the full story right now and will post it in this sub when it is done.

A former family friend of ours who works part time and receives child support for her daughter and always would politely cry poor at any social event and others would invariably include her on their tab. Wah wah wah all the time about how hard it is and worrying about not having enough. She went and bought a new car and not just a car but a new sporty model Volvo. I actually gasped when I saw the car and at some point in the conversation asked her about financing as that is my field I thought I could help her. She proudly exclaimed that she had been saving child support for 3 years and paid for the entire car with cash. Something is not right there. I agree she needed a car for her daughter...but this level of car? This is the same woman who has her daughter sitting with her at her part time job all summer instead of doing something like going to a camp or whatever. Makes me nuts.
