My family has always been good about sending gifts and money for birthdays and Christmas. This year was a great year for my daughter in total she got about over $1,400 for her birthday. Which I put in a joint savings account I set up for my daughter. All in all, I have been depositing her gift money in her account for over 3 years. Which just so coincides around the time of my divorce.

My daughter told my ex-wife about her savings account over the weekend. She was so proud of having money.

My ex-wife on the other hand took the news as me stealing money from her. She is demanding that I give her half of the money in my daughter's savings account. Her logic is that since we "share" custody of my daughter, she deserves half of my daughter's gift money.

I asked EW what about the money her side gives my daughter. She told me it is none of my business how much money her family gives her. Go figure.

In the account my kid has over $8,000. All of the money she received from her birthdays, Christmases, and other special occasions. And the EW wants half of that, and I doubt she will put it in a savings account for my kid.
