Response to Teandra's week 5 Eureka Moment

I agree with Nik that it depends on the child custody situation but i would have to say that i think you handled the situation well. While your brother probably still feels hurt by the situation and only thinks she wants to pocket the extra money because of her job loss, i think she is also concerned for her sons sake. She doesnt necessarily need the money for herself because she is out of a job but she needs the money to help support her son. If she is out of a job then it means she cant support herself or more importantly their son. I would give her the child support to help with the current situation and then if things get out of hand (like she doesnt try to find onther job because she is getting the child support) than i would do something about it. Until then i think he should want to help her out a little because in helping her he is helping his son. Does that make sense?
