      @penguinwrangler

      Was there a consideration of you having custody of your kids, showing you can care better for them, and her paying you some child support? That'd help with child care costs.

      Past that point. I was divorced back in 2006. It was rural Missouri court, I was male, no way the court was going to take the kids from the Mom unless she was something like a drug addict with criminal issues. In most cases, family court is prejudice against the father. Much much harder for a father to get custody generally speaking. Especially in rural areas.

      There doesn't seem to be anything to do that won't negatively impact the kids, unfortunately. Good call on keeping them insured yourself. They are what really matter in the end, regardless of badly she is spending the money. Unless there's a way to get the court to track her spending habits, shrug.

        Technically I can request an audit of how she spends the child support, but basically, they just ask her to fill out a sheet on what she spends the money on. I was told that it is pretty much just a waste of time.

            There is a business that I support, he is a friend of a friend. My friend and I support his business. They were without power and their CAD machines of course just cut out because he didn't have a battery backup on them, even though we suggested it. So he called my friend and was asking why we don't have battery backups because they lost hours of work worth x amount of dollars. My friend told him "well, if you remember our conversation we had about this, you said no you didn't want to do that" well now we are installing battery backups. Some people only learn the hard way.

              UPS we had. Working circuits, we did not. Turns out, the AC was put on the same circuit as the servers. And it got a little too hot.

                    Yeah, many SMBs are reactive, even if the only cost is change.

                            Netdata is a neat monitoring application, but how to add more than localhost for monitoring?

                                      I'm spoiled being where I'm from. It's basically sacrilege to get pizza from a chain. Pizza around here is just so good compared to anything that comes from a chain.
