My DH lost his job Friday. It was a miserable job, and he stuck it out for two years even though he hated it, so I'm kind of glad.

BM on the other hand is freaking out that she might lose her $200 a month child support, as that is her only income.

DH asked if we could cancel the CO for child support and he would just pay her the $200. She refused. She doesn't realize that now that we have a baby his obligation will go down, unless he gets quite a large raise. It seems so silly for her to insist, we have NEVER done anything to make her think we're out there to shaft her out of child support.

Basically our point of view is that if she wants to make it difficult and have a formal CO for child support then we'll make sure it's 100% accurate. Including when she gets a job.
