Getting More Money for Your Kids...

How to get more money for your children when parenting with an Ex.

Depending if you pay or you're paid, you'll have quite a different reaction to this title.

If you pay, you will feel annoyed that yet another tactic is trying to screw more money out of you.

If you're the parent who needs more money from your Ex, you'll read with hope that a new way will ease your financial worries.

Let me say this, if you learn and use the techniques that I'm about to show you, you'll know just what to do to avoid future arguments over money between you and your Ex.

You'll avoid wondering if the money you pay will ever be used for your children.

You'll avoid depending on your Ex's money to just make ends meet every week.

If you learn and use the techniques that I'm about to show you, you will finally receive the answers to your money hassles you've hoped for and this will last for as long as you have children, an Ex, and money swapping!

After decades of research and experimentation carried out by institutions all over the globe, here's a short quote to help you remember what has been discovered: "Money makes an excellent servant, but a terrible master."

One of the most important aspects of managing money is for it to serve you, not rule your choices and behaviour.

Money is no doubt one of the most powerful forces on our planet today. As part of this, we believe we always need more because this gives us power. Since most of us live from one week's pay to the next, it feels very real too. The trick here is to keep it in perspective.

Let's look at the opposing perspectives of the paying parent and the receiving parent.

There are many parents who should pay maintenance to their Ex and yet they try to get out of it. Having worked with many of them, they do this because they believe the money is used for the Ex's, and not paying for the children's welfare. Although this does not excuse the behaviour, it does help explain it.

As a receiving parent, you should get financial help for raising your children from your Ex. However to solve any money issues between you, a change in how you view that money will go a long way.

If you can just imagine for a moment that your Ex died rather than divorced, you would not be receiving any ongoing maintenance money.

I hear the argument as you claim, "Ah, yes, but I would have had their life insurance money instead." Well, that may be true, or not as many insurance companies will tell you. This aside, the point is, you would be without the expectation of receiving money.

When you adopt a position similar to this (that is, any money paid a bonus), when you do receive money, it's followed by gratitude rather than a feeling of "Is that all, don't you know how much your kids cost!".

This change to an attitude of gratitude is contagious. A point proven by thousands of people, where this single change has been significant enough to grow the amount of money you'll receive.

So how do you go about creating this change?

Here are the 3 action steps to turn this ongoing frustration of money between you and your Ex into a benefit for you and your children.

1. Set up a separate bank account. Give this account number to your Ex and request that all payments are made directly into this account.
2. Use this account only for items that directly effect your children.
3. Let your Ex know both what expenses you cover for the children yourself, and the expenses that are being covered from the special account you set up.

To start solving the frustration of money, here's what to do RIGHT NOW. As counter-intuitive as it may feel to spend money, do yourself a favour and invest in this valuable book "Parenting with the Ex Factor".
