Oh aaahaha! It's not funny for you but it can be to everyone else.
My daughters bf moved out of their apt unexpectedly (ie: dumped her) 3 months before their lease was up. To his credit did continue to pay his half of the rent since he was living free with friends, while she packed up all his stuff and put in on the curb for him. As the end of the lease approached and she found a new place so she just took her things and cancelled the utilities that were in her name, including electricity, and moved. Then she told him if he wanted any deposit back he had to clean the place up, including the rotting food in the fridge that had been turned off for a couple days and dumping an old sofa neither of them wanted. He wasn't happy but he did it. Moving early shouldn't absolve anyone from the clean up process and she felt she'd done her share by packing for him months earlier. He wanted more than 50% of the cleaning deposit for dealing with it all at the last minute, but he didn't get it. Live and learn and don't expect fairness after a breakup.
Wow!!!!! What a hard lesson learned from this one!
EX didn`t give LandLord his 30 day notice that he was moving, soooooooo.......not a dime back!
I was waiting to read something like that. Never ever count on getting the full damage deposit back from a landlord. Some of them will come up with any excuse they can think of - no matter how flimsy - to hold on to all or part of the money.
Given your history with the ex, didn't you see that one coming?
And I don't understand why you're happy that your son lost his camp money. Now you're both back at square one, and he may not be able to go if you can't cover the whole cost yourself. You're glad about this?

Ya..when it comes to money, forget it. EX is gonna bail everytime, but this was no skin off of his ass either way.
I`m not happy that son lost his money, and believe me..that wasn`t towards his camp money! That was for him to blow however he wanted. I was not laughing at the fact that the money was lost. That sux.
I was giggling` over the fact that EX said he could not afford to give me son`s half to go to camp, but yet he can dish out 150 bucks to son for helping him move...ahhh..twice! Son told me that EX reimbursed the lost wallet. So anyway, we plan to pay for all of it, so son can go and have a great time!!!!
I`m done with the EX. So glad he moved! YAY!!
He is just a douche` bag that don`t like to give up his money!
My son spent 2 weeks with him, and we were to meet halfway to pick him up yesterday.
I ran over something and got a flat tire on my car. Tried to fix it, but they said it was punctured too far and we would have to get a new tire. We checked, and its under warranty where we bought the car, but they couldn`t get the tire until Monday. So..we had no way to meet him halfway, and I told him that he would have to drive all the way! LOL.. He started huffin` and puffin` and almost screaming telling me that he couldn`t do that, no way could he do that!
I said I didn`t have a car, and maybe karma come back to bite him!
We ended up picking up a rental and had to keep it until Monday..74 bucks! Woo Hoo!!
Life gets so messy when other people are involved in it. I feel for you, mainly because you will still have to deal on one basis or another until your Son reaches 18. From your description I can see why you are divorced from him and think you made the right decision. If I were him I would work extra hours or whatever to make sure my Son went to that Summer camp, but your ex doesn't seem to be that kind of person.
I would minimize the amount of contact you ever have to have with him, while still trying to keep a cordial relationship for your Son's sake. Some day your ex will realize the mistakes he is making and it might just be too late.
