Do I have a right to be confused and upset?

ohhh.. actually its up to you coz you are the mother. But if that is for your child, just let it be. Maybe he knows that he cant support you and your child that is why he walked away. Maybe he won that truck from a poker game or something, who knows. But if you dont need the truck, then just sell it. you can use the money for your child's tuition fee.

Rather then giving child support he prefers to compensate something that everyone can see, a truck which make many people think he is not a bad father afterall. If the truck does not generate any income, it is better to sell it before it becomes a burden to you.

well, nothing to confuse cuz he never think what will come out after he walked out on you in the first day. if he thought about it then it never end up with this. if the car under your name or both of your name, you can sell it.

yes friend. it is definitely a confusing matter. but it is very essential to know your ex husband's motive. if everything is in favour of u then nothing to be upset. lol.

I think it's his way of making up for not being there for the last year? I think maybe out of guilt or something? I don't know, but I do think that it should either 1. sit there until he can afford insurance, ect. or 2. sell it. I don't really know, this is a sticky situation. Hope you figure everything out :)

Yes you have a right to be confused...If you depend on child support, How does he expect you to pay for insurance, gas money? Some people just don't think.

To me it doesn't seem like your ex thought it through carefully and going behind your back was wrong! Their are many things to consider ... - Who is gong to insure it - Who is going to plate it - Who is going to buy the gas - Was your son grounded or in trouble at the time - Is your son responsible enough to own his own vehicle! And the main thing is yeah, if he can't afford child support how in the world could he afford a vehicle for your son? And what are his true intentions for buying it? Sounds like he's trying to treat your son that he can buy his love! I know your son knows his love can't be bought because he told me that himself, BUT your ex seems to think he can!

I think the first thing to discover is who is the legal owner of the truck. If it´s you ex husband, couldn´t you do something mean like reporting that truck in the front of your house? Maybe you should seek lawyer help.

If it is in he ex-hubby's name you cant sell it, can you? Who is going to pay for the insurance and the gas? It doesnt sound like your ex thought about the situation at all! As a 16 year old, I am sure your son wants to keep it, what new driver wouldnt? It is a lot of responsibility though!
