Mine is home because of a divorce, paying child support for a kid he hasn’t seen in years, can’t find a job that pays enough to house and feed himself even with a college degree so he’s back in school learning a trade. He doesn’t like it, we don’t like it but that’s life right now. He’s clean, fed, roof over his head. If family doesn’t help you when you need it, who will ?
Why hasn’t he seen his kid in years? The ex can’t legally deny him visitation (unless the court agreed).
