My 12-year-old son recently asked me why his father needs to pay child support. He continued by saying his dad was struggling with paying his own bills and supporting his new family. His dad tells him the fact that he never sees his son is reason enough not to pay. I am disgusted this topic is being discussed with my son in the first place. I don’t know how to respond to this question. Any ideas? Ivory Ivory, just as a person testifying in court promises to tell the truth, your former husband m...
When Neale Gonsalves' train trip from Stockport, England, to London is canceled, he rebooks on another train. But Trainline, his ticket agency, charges him a $43 ticket change fee. Is that allowed? I booked a ticket on Trainline several weeks ago for a journey from Stockport, England, to London. When I checked the ticket on the day of departure on the Trainline app, it showed that the train scheduled for 2:24 p.m. had been canceled. There was another train leaving at 2:19 p.m., so I reb...
BG&E agrees to waive Larry Bauman's monthly service fee but then charges him anyway. Is there a way to get his money back? I have a problem with Baltimore Gas & Electric (BG&E). I bought an air conditioner service plan through BGE Home, an independent service arm of BG&E. BGE Home has an agreement with BG&E to charge me the $42.90 monthly service fee for two air conditioning units and two furnaces through my monthly utility bill. In June 2022, I bought a new air conditioning unit from BGE Home....

Five years ago I married someone wonderful. Two years ago I had my son, our first child. I gave up my job to stay with the baby, and now I am a full-time, stay at home mom. My son is wonderful, but I feel cheated and upset that I'm no longer independent. I now have to ask my husband for everything, including money for underwear, which I find upsetting. He sees nothing wrong with this. I've handled my own money from the age of 15, and I'm now 27. Everything he wants seems important and needed,...

My son had a rough divorce, and his family stayed with him all the way. He used his hands on her, but she had been pushing his buttons. Along with the divorce came financial problems, and we loaned him money. He lived with us for about a year and then moved out on his own. All the while, he was a very good son living under his parents’ roof. He was fortunate to earn a decent living, and one day he met a lovely girl who eventually became his second wife. He borrowed money to start his own busines...
Kimberli Eicher and her daughter just experienced the worst Amtrak train ride imaginable. It was so bad that they canceled their return trip and flew home. Do they deserve a refund? I took my seven-year-old daughter on our first Amtrak trip, from Chemult, Ore., to Oklahoma City to visit her cousins this summer. The trip was a nightmare. Amtrak delayed our first train by seven hours. It failed to provide all the meals on our 26-hour trip. I had paid for a sleeper, but Amtrak seated us in the...
When Warren Yue cancels a vacation rental for a church retreat before the pandemic, he initially gets a refund from his Chase Sapphire Reserve card. But then it backtracks, deducting half his money. What gives? I paid for a vacation rental in Oceanside, Calif., for our church fellowship group before the pandemic. I used my Chase Sapphire Reserve card, which has travel insurance. We had to cancel the trip because of COVID. The vacation rental management company offered a full refund but then changed its offer to a credit. I wanted my money back...
