Thanks. How could someone possibly live on $300? The lawyer i talked to said offer her $1300.

Right, I mean if there is one thing I learned from my years with her, it was that giving her and her family everything they wanted was never enough, and would never satiate them.

Here is her list, with her using 280 as the exhange rate: Niñiera $195 Limpieza $60 Viandas $67 Monta $56 Inglés $20 Remis $18 Médicos y remedios $37 Auto mantenimiento $37 Nafta $78 Regalos de cumpleaños $37 Gas $75 Luz $76 Alquiler $180 Mercadería $800 Internet $10 Ropa $75 Libros y Jugetes...

Right, this forum is like my damn public diary, at one point she was spending $4k a month. There’s just no end. So “doing what’s best for the kids” has no limiting principle for her.

I have a lawyer already, and lucky for me the laws in Argentina are extremely favorable about these things (and what she is entitled to receive in child support). I think it’s more an issue of what is the best decision like morally for the kids etc and what can I live with. If she says she...

Well nothing keeps her happy. Part of the issue is if I say ok to $2150 now it will $3150 in a year and $5000 before I know it.

Sure I can afford it but it isn’t going all to her kids. She is giving her mom $180 for “rent” on her own house. When we were together, it was $100, and I asked why, and she said her mom needs the money to run her zapatería. So I’m funding her mom’s zapatería. Yeah $180 isn’t huge but still...

No the $800 was just for groceries. She had separate categories for stuff like meds and entertainment. How much can a haircut cost? I go to cerini in Palermo and it’s $2900

I didn’t know they had Whole Foods in Argentina!

I went to the pueblo today and saw she is building a second floor on her house.

Most people know my hilariously tragic situation in some detail but I have an ex gf who lives in a small town of 60,000 in the province of Santa Fe. We have two kids, one is nearly 4 now. The other is 18 months. I’ve been giving my ex $2000 a month via Western Union…so about 600,000 ARS...

or will the aduana confíscate it as a meat?

Don’t worry, things will get better with time?

Yeah. Now they are no longer my friends, they all just ask me for money or to invest in their "proyectos"

Because once you break up with them they kick you out of that circle...

It is two kids (3 and 1 years old). She originally told me she wanted to put the kids into Lincoln, which I thought a bad idea (beyond it being like $6k a month once they get to high school) because Lincoln, St. Andrews etc are for like the super elite of Buenos Aires, not people from the...

Thanks. Not sure the intent is for me to be involved, as she already makes it virtually impossible to do videocalls etc.. Is $2K enough to live on in Buenos Aires?

Well, now I am an old bachelor, but with young kids, haha. Do you not get lonely?

I care about my kids, but there mother is from a pueblo and doesn't have any friends or family in BA How far does $2,000 get you in Buenos Aires, especially with private school?

My ex recently contacted me (about $ obviously) and asked me to set her up in Buenos Aires because she wanted to raise our kids in Buenos Aires and go get a job finally. She pitched it to me as a better (for her, more progressive, liberal) environment to grow up in and it would be easier for me...
