Their financial status at the time of the support order must have been pretty much the same as it is now.
She is not getting a free ride--she is getting nothing but money to, hopefully, allow 'your' son to live closer to the standard of how he lives most of his life (with you), while he is with her.
You have a husband, a home, a 7 year-old son who would probably rather be in his nice, loving home with you, than with his lazy, shacked up mom in the summer. He has no say in this. Put that $100.00 a year net gain of support in an account for him, so one day, he can use it for something that will enrich his life. It's the only good thing he'll ever get from her, and he won't get that if you don't help him.
Don't let dollar signs make you an unhappy wife and mom. Forget about it. You are the winner. Tell yourself that everytime that anger and resentment devil pops into your head. You are the winner. Take care of your marriage and your children and yourself; be happy; enjoy being loved and respected. You and your husband have earned it.

thanks for your reply.$$$isnt all.....i guess i can be glad that we didnt have to fight her for him.he is a joy!!! he is, along with the others, the sunshine of our lives.thank you for putting another way of looking at things in my heart.i needed that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
