I found out plenty at the attorney's office today...she is looking to accept the plan that she helped set up but then recanted it to her attorney. I documented the meeting, dh called the attorney and sent an email right afterward. BM just doesn't want to pay $200 a month in CS.

DH is going to let her suffer until next week. That is when the court hearing is set. DH (and me) have spent 16k so far for what?? Her to back down...its the principal and she makes plenty of money she doesn't want to ruin her shopping addiction.

One of the questions the attorney is going to ask DH is when did we get married........exactly a year to date from the hearing. Nice way to spend our anniversary....well..ok the first year of our marriage...dealing with BM and her antics.

Its a shame that you have to hire an attorney for the delays that they do and takes 8 months to go into the court room. The sad sad game that these BM's play just makes every one lose but the attorneys.

Good luck at next week's court date! For the amount of money you invested into it all, I don't think it would be good to back down just to give her what she wants. But with her working they might just review her income overall and depending on what she makes they might take out more than the $200. And I think BM knows that and that's why she is trying to settle out of court and ask that she not pay CS.

In OH there is a "formula" that the statue has to determine CS with and without health insurance. What is unfair is that I pay the $300 in healthcare and DH can't put that amount in the formula.

DH and BM make about the same about of money so that's why the number is so low.

DH is not backing down. BM is getting delivered today about DH motion to have the kids testifying for the judge on the day of the hearing...that should rattle her cage.

I can't wait til I hear her say she can't afford to pay CS. Its too laughable.
