In my prior blog posts, I talked about the court process between my SO and his now ex-wife and their 2 sons. My SO has them full time, she gets the first 6 weeks of summer vacation. Since the court date in October, she has called to talk to them only 2-3 times, and have sent them a package twice. Nothing for christmas, but she did send stuff for st patricks day and valentines day.

My SO was awarded child support from the kids mother. Our states child support division website says it can take 90-120 days to set up (MD). She paid him this month directly through a joint account, and now is asking for it back because it has to go through the state. Can she actually make payments through the state before it is fully set up. Does it actually take the 90 days that is stated on their website?

..and now just waiting until Tuesday to receive the results from the judge. Looking really good that he will end up with the kids primarily. Judge asked the mother if she doesn't get custody, when she would like to see them and her answer was summers. So don't know how much time she is going to get. She is also asking for $1000 in alimony for the next 3-5 years (and the judge brought up how she would be done with her degree in 18 months---almost like he thought she was asking for too much for too long of a period).

My SO goes to court tomorrow for the final hearing on his divorce and child custody. The 2 kids have been living with my SO full time for the past 4 1/2 years. For the first 2 years, BM was out of state following a guy around the country. After she came back, she lived with a different man about 45 minutes away. Was supposed to see them a day each weekend, but most weekends would come up with excuses why she couldn't see them. Then she moved back to her home state, came back and took them with her without saying anything to my SO.
