The latest dose of reality drama comes straight from DeAnna Pappas, who’s accusing her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano, of being $23,000 behind on child support. While Stagliano’s turning to Uber to make ends meet after months of unemployment, DeAnna is not pulling any punches in their heated custody battle. She claims he hasn’t paid for haircuts or clothes for their kids and hasn’t honored their custody agreement regarding drug tests. Sounds like a lot of old baggage resurfacing, huh?
This isn’t just a casual spat over finances; it highlights the challenging world of co-parenting. DeAnna filed a declaration opposing Stagliano’s request to lower his child support payments because, apparently, he thinks quitting his CEO job at a gaming company means he can dodge his obligations. If only life came with a reset button, right? Or maybe just a “don’t fall behind on child support” button would do.
As this family drama unfolds, other parents have to be thinking: How can two people share kids—and expenses—without falling into courtroom chaos? So, what’s the secret sauce for smooth co-parenting? Do you have any stories or tips to share? Let’s hear your opinions!
