I commend you on being so accomodating - many would say to hell with you and not pay a dime until they have to.
If I were your attorney, I'd advise you to pay child support, making very sure to write CHILD SUPPORT on the memo line of the check and to never pay in a non-verifiable form - as child support is for a child's portion of home expenses as well. Then I'd suggest you pay 1/3 as that is your share based on your name being on the morgage/deed, . The credit card, you pay half of if you both are utilizing the account, none if you aren't.this is more than fair.
Since your STBX is employed, she is capable of paying her own way on the house. The fact she hasn't gotten a full time job yet is not your problem. Dont set a precendent you don't want to be stuck with - if you continue to pay all of it, you are going to have to continue. I'm a family law attorney
