I think our divorce works differently here in Australia, we can't actually make the other person pay half, its all up to the person who is filing for it. Paying $800 is for me to lodge it myself, it would be $1400 if i had a Lawyer do it. Yes, he does pay me child support every week thank god, but there is nothing i can do about what he spends his money on. I mean, its just a matter of principle isn't it, doing the right thing?
