Do you consider her a friend? If so, do no more or no less than you would for any other friend. Would you go out of your way in the same way for
Do you this situation having her so close and helping her sends a mixed message to your son? He's 14, I'd say talk to him about the situation. He's old enough to hear how you feel and make his own decisions about how he feels about it. Hopefully it's not in the back of his mind that having her near might mean you get back together (what kid doesn't kinda think that way).
If I were the woman in this situation, I don't see how I would ever even consider moving in next door to you. Unless.. she sees it as you'll do whatever she needs of you to get her on her feet and out of there. If that's the case, it's just wrong of her on so many levels.
In answer to your question "how much am I supposed to do for this woman?" the answer is zero. She's an adult. She's responsible for her own life and her own decisions, the path she takes and the situation she is in now (no home, no car, etc). Sure she is the mother of your son (although you say she chose to give up custody), but that doesn't mean you are bound to help her any time she needs it or wants it.
