my ex husband and i share financial support for my 2 kids. they both live with me while he pays for their education...i'm now living with my boyfriend of more than 6 years and we have a 1 year old baby. we are both employed and i guess i make more money than he does. he supports his mom and sisters financially while we share with our daughter's personal needs and expenses. though he spends more than i do for our daughter (take note, solely for our daughter)i spend for everything else... the rent, the utility bills, the food and grocery and well...everything else! even when we go out as a family, so long as my kids are with us, i spend for everything. but when it's just the three of us---he sometimes shares and spends a little. he knows exactly how much i make and where my money goes, but i have only the faintest idea of how much he really earns. given the set up of our relationship, can anyone tell me if this is fair? he does love my kids and even treats them as his own, dont get me wrong. we only have some set backs s far as finances are concerned. i just would like to know if i have the right to ask him for additional contribution....i have tried to voice this out with him several times before but he still finds nothing wrong with the set up, much less do anything to help me out. i do need help, for expenses are growing. besides, shouldn't he prioritize our daughter and our faily now more than his family? he's not an only child and he's not the only one working....enlighten me please anyone....
