I've been paying alimony since I was 14 and child support since 15. That's a joke, but not by much.
My family came in 1635 from England and settled in Williamsburg. Shortly after, they split up; half went to New England and half stayed in Virginia. I'm a Virginian Ballard.
It's a terrible thing to go through life thinking that you have a rock on your side when you haven't.
